Week 253: CLOTHES

 

Ready for a new cue word?  Let's see what you decide to dress your card designs in this week!

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!)



STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this challenge's winner their choice of either a $10 gift certificate to the online store OR 2 ARTplorations stencils!  Remember, during the weeks STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!

STAMPlorations will be celebrating their 4th birthday this month and you'll want to hop along with them to celebrate beginning June 26th!  Mark your calendars!
