Such wonderful colors make this little dragonfly perfect for a cheery summer card! The dry embossing neatly encircles this small guy and the flags are a perfect use of odd numbers in design.

Great card, Ma-Mi!

Week 252: INSECT

 

Ready to play with bugs this week?  We're going to see what insects make you think of!

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!)

Let's see what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
