CASology Week #88: Lucky




It's time for another CASology challenge.  This week, our cue word is LUCKY.  What do you think of when you see the word LUCKY?   I looked through my supplies and then remembered that I had a 'lucky' word die that I have never used.  It came with 'happy', which is the word I wanted, and I forgot all about lucky.  I was lucky I remembered about that die.  (ba dum bum)  Have some fun with this cue word, and then please link up your creation on the CASology blog by Monday 3/31 at noon (CST).



I adhered my white die cut 'lucky' onto a piece of Pure Poppy, cut with Lil Inker's On the Diagonal die.  I also embossed my card base with the largest Lil Inker's Stitched Rectangle die.  I love the look of those faux stitches.  It gives the white space just a little something.  I added a trio of flowers and some leaves from Bigger Blooms, and finished the sentiment with a stamp from Wonderful Words Additions.

Since CASology is a Clean And Simple challenge, I thought it would be helpful to review some things to keep in mind when creating a CAS design:


1.  One main image
2.  Lots of open space (uncluttered)
3.  Limited layers & embellishments
4.  Quick & easy to recreate
 
You can see that my card meets all 4 criteria above.
 
 So, what do you think of when you see the word LUCKY?  

Check out the beautiful designs from the CASology Design Team members and see how they were inspired by LUCKY.  Then, please play along and link your creation to the CASology blog by Monday 3/31 at noon (CST) 
 
Don't forget to keep your card Clean and Simple.

  10. I use the "you" and "happy" from this word set regularly - don't think I've ever cut a "lucky" either. Love the red diagonal panel anchoring the flowers & sentiment!
