Week 225: SOFT

 

It's time for a new challenge!  We're going for softness this week!  Whether that means textures, colors or something entirely different, we want to see what this cue work makes 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!)

Poppystamps is joining us as a brand new sponsor and this week's winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the online store!  Have you seen their new releases?!  Be sure to join in their monthly challenge for a chance to win the winner badge &/or a prize!
