CASology 62 - Autumn


This week's CASology Cue Card is Autumn!



Nothing says autumn like brightly coloured leaves. For this card, my original idea was to mask the strip and fill it in with the leaf stamped in different colours. When I removed the mask, I felt like it was a bit boring, so I added a few more in a diagonal pattern to create some falling movement. The key to keeping a card CAS with all this stamping in so many colours is to focus your 'busy-ness' in one area and leave lots of white space.

I'm also linking this up to CASual Friday's challenge (autumn colours and a leaf) and to the current Retrosketch challenge (I inverted it for my card):



Now it's your turn - I predict a lot of CASology/CFC challenge combinations this week - they work so well together!

But before you go, don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's AUTUMN creations:

  1. I think you're right about the combo, Ardy. I JUST published my card, but I wonder if it is CAS enough to link with CASology? It's okay, I'll be doing more autumn cards. I LOVE how you've done your DT card with the tumbling jewel colors of autumn leaves!!

  25. Hi Ardyth, Thanks for your sweet comment on my cad card. I know the colors aren't really tallish and maybe I should have used a different sentiment but I love the rest of my card and how it turned out. I could pop up a HB on it probably. When I saw your card on the challenge I loved it and didn't even pay attention to to stamped it. Lovely indeed. Happy stamping!
