CASology 196 - Move


This week's CASology Cue Card is Move!



Not too long ago my son was accepted for a 7 week pilot course offered during the summer by the Air Cadets. So I'm a proud (and slightly nervous!) mama! He did gliding a couple of years ago and will soon take his driving exam - this kid is going to be well-licensed! lol!

CAS design works well for masculine cards. For this masculine card, I used a number of CAS principles: limited colours, limited layers, lots of white space, no embellishments, straight lines. But I cut out a jet-stream and let the plane fly off the card to add interest. No need to be boring!

I used Waltzingmouse Free Spirit and Avery Elle Fly By.

And now it's your turn - let's see how you move! Be sure to drop by the rest of the DT for more inspiration:

  7. With all that's going on around here, I'm once again late in commenting dear friend. I did take a quick peek yesterday but had no time to tell you what a wonder this card is! This might sound weird, but I love and consider grays as some of my most favorite colors, so this one is right up my alley. Sweet little biplane, and I love its 'vapor trail.' Congrats to Struan too, on his acceptance in the pilot course. He must have a permanent grin etched on his face! Good for him!!! Maybe someday he can fly you over for a visit!! Now that would be awesome!! Have a great week my friend. Miss you. Bev

  13. I almost used this plane for my card but now I'm glad I didn't because this is SO much better than my idea! Love the shading on the plane and the "jet stream" is brilliant!

  14. Clever, clever! Great neutral colors, fun movement!
    I can't even imagine my son flying -- he just got his driver's license and that is nerve-wracking enough!

  15. Super clever! Can appreciate you being nervous! He sounds pretty capable though! I look forward to hearing how he gets on! Driving will be such a bore in comparison!
