This week's CASology Cue Card is Spring!
I've gone in a direction that is maybe a little unexpected. I used an old Stampendous build-a-robot set (plus a little hand-drawing for his body) to create a punny, springy card.
Now, I'm not a person who draws. That's why I stamp! But the 'body' portions of stamps that I had with this set were not quite right for the robot I wanted to build. So I took a Copic Multiliner and drew his square little body. The sketchy, imprecise style of these stamps made this very easy.
When I was finished, I realized that this guy and his sentiment were taking up a lot of space on my main panel.
To keep the card CAS, I
1) grouped the image and the sentiment as close together as I could, starting from the bottom left corner.
2) minimized the colouring, so that there is white space even inside the image
3) popped the panel up on a white card base, to create a clear border around the panel.
Now it's your turn. Can't wait to see how spring inspires you!

ReplyDeleteThis is SO CUTE Ardyth! I love this robot, he made me smile!!! And your coloring is absolutely perfect. The way you left so much white in his body is fantastic, and makes the card not only feel light and airy, but makes the robot look more shiny!
