Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology. Our cue word this week is PLAID. I love plaid on cards. (On clothes, not so much) I broke out my PTI plaid builders set and several WPlus9 ink pads and stamped a plaid pattern on a piece of card stock 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. Then, I had to decide what to do with my plaid panel.
One rule of CAS design is to try to keep your stamped images to 1/3 of the card. In my opinion, texture, dimension and small embellishments can go a long way towards adding interest to the 2/3 of the card left white--without making it too busy or detracting from the main image. I decided to use a piece of my plaid stamped piece as a border and impressed my top panel with a plaid impression plate.
Now, it's your turn. How are you inspired by PLAID? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.
