Week 90: WET

 

April showers bring May flowers.  At least they used to.  For some of us, spring is still hiding so we're going to use a little moisture to try to hurry it up a bit this week!  Rain doesn't have to be only thing that this week's cue word makes you think of, however!  Take this word and find something that works for you!


STAMPlorations, one of our fantastic sponsors, is returning this week and with Mother's Day quickly approaching, you're going to love this week's prize:


If you love the looks of this stamp set, you'll want to go and check out the rest of the mother themed sets that are now in their store!  For even more inspiration, be sure and visit their blog!

Now let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!


Guest Designer:  Michele

Use words as a focal point in your design.


Ardyth

Big blocks of bold colour can still be CAS!


Gillian 
design defined:
A one layer card and monochrome are two great ways to make a CAS card.


 Jen
design defined:
Use contacting colours in your design to keep things CAS.


 Joyce
 design defined:
Create a sense of depth and layers by masking your stamped elements.


Judy 
design defined:
One main image can take center stage on a CAS card.


Kimberly

design defined:
One layered with simple balanced themes, minimal colors,
easily reproduced, and lots of free space = CAS! 


Maureen
 design defined: 
 Subtle embellishments that blend with your background add texture and interest without making your card look busy.


May
 design defined: 
Remember the power of three & don't forget the white space!
 
 
Meghan 
design defined:
Pocket Scrapbooking cards work really well on clean and simple cards!


Melissa
  design defined:
Use your simple embellishments to guide the viewer's eye around your card.


Now go have fun creating your CAS design and don't forget to link up here on the challenge blog by Monday at NOON (CDT)!
