It's time for another CASology challenge, and our cue word this week is ELECTRIC. Fun, right? I have enjoyed pulling out favorite older stamps that haven't seen much ink recently for my CASology cards, so today I pulled out Lighten Up and Chair-ished from PTI. The cue word of ELECTRIC made me think of things that plug in, so I thought of a lamp.
How about you? What do you think of when you see the word ELECTRIC? Have some fun with this cue word, and then please link up your creation on the CASology blog by Monday 5/5 at noon (CST).
I stamped a little scene using a chair, dog, and floor from Chair-ished, and a floor lamp from Lighten Up. I sponged some Lemon Tart ink around the lamp shade--showing a warm glow from a lamp turned on. In person, the yellow inked area is barely visible, but in the photo it is quite bright.
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
2. Lots of open space (uncluttered)

You can see that my card meets all 4 criteria above.
So, what do you think of when you see the word ELECTRIC?
Check out the beautiful designs from the CASology Design Team members and see how they were inspired by ELECTRIC. Then, please play along and link your creation to the CASology blog by Monday 5/5 at noon (CST).
