Week 215: BARK

 

Time to em-bark on a new cue word journey!  Whether an animal or nature lover, this one should be fun to brainstorm for!

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!)

We have a brand new sponsor joining us this week!  Please welcome Darkroom Door!
