CASology 215 - Bark


This week's CASology Cue Card is Bark!



An interesting Cue Card, don't you think? I can see two ways to go with this, but maybe you'll think of another? Yum, I just thought of CHOCOLATE bark! lol! I went with tree bark, and made it the main focus of my card.

To preserve white space on this rather large focal image from Concord & 9th Tree Hugs, I made sure that my shading, which adds interest and dimension, was very subtle, so that the colours aren't far off white. I also left as much white space as possible in the centre by making the tree trunk quite wide, and having no sentiment inside the heart. Seriously, any words you put inside the heart can be implied by the heart itself. I limited layers and added no embellishment to ensure that the design stayed as CAS as possible.

Now it's your turn! Be sure to check out the inspiration from the rest of the DT:

    Fabulous, Ardyth - simple but dramatic design and subtle colouring all give this card punch.
