CAS83 Sketch Challenge & a May Arts Tutorial

Somebody pinch me!  This is my first post as a member of the CAS Fall DT on Splitcoast.  I still can hardly believe it!  Our challenge this week  CAS83 is a sketch by Denise aka resqbarbie.  Denise is a pro at clean and simple design. 

Here's my take on her awesome sketch: (you can click on the photo for a better look)

                                       

I used an old SU set, Simple Shapes for the moon.  I inked the circle with SU Pumpkin Pie then lightly tapped it in More Mustard.   The witch was stamped in Versafine Black, then again in Versamark and heat embossed using black EP.  That cute silver jack-o-lantern was in that huge bottle of charms I won in the House Mouse challenge. 

Jen, our moderator has revamped the definition of the CAS challenges. I think the new definition makes CAS simpler to understand and execute:

It's all about the design.

* not the technique

* not the tools

* not the embellishments

It's all about the design.

* Uncluttered

* lots of white or open space

* one main focal point

It's all about the design.

Clean & Simple
