Week 244: STRONG

 

It's time for a new cue word!  How about one with strength?  We all need a little extra strength sometimes, don't we, whether it's physical or emotional?!  Maybe this word will make you think of specific living or non-living things!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
  1. One main image
  2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
  3. Limited layers & embellishments
  4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)
Kitty Bee Designs is returning as our wonderful sponsor and this week's winner will receive one free (non-colored) digital image of their choice from the online store!

 

Let's take a look at what the design team and guest designer created to inspire for this week's cue!
