Week 45: ROYAL

Kings, queens, princes, princesses.  Yes, those are words that will probably come to mind immediately this week, but perhaps you'll think of something entirely different than that and we love it when that happens!  That's the beauty of the cue words!  You can interpret them however they appeal to you!

Let's see where this week's cue word took our guest designer and design team!

Guest Designer:  Kim

 design defined:

Don't be afraid of vivid colors - they are still perfectly CAS on a clean, white background!


Maureen

design defined:
Try heat embossing on a dark color for a dramatic look!

Meghan

design defined:
Ahhhh...white space!


Melissa

 design defined:
Simple images and colors complement each other on a CAS design.
 

Rosemary

design defined:
Layering stamped images is another way to keep things simple yet interesting.


Tracey

design defined:
Smaller images can have big impact on a CAS card when it is set on a frame.


Ardyth
 
design defined: 
Simple colour schemes help keep things CAS!

Jen

design defined: 
Repeating the use of a piece of patterned paper helps make a cohesive design.

Judy

design defined:
 One layer cards can be detailed with shading and accents but still CAS.

Now go have fun and don't forget to link up your ROYAL creations by Sunday at 4:00 p.m. (CDT)!
