Today I thought I would try to do a Clean & Simple card for a change- specifically for the current Wee Memories challenge.
Now for me CAS is a real challenge........it's just not my thing. But I wanted to see what I could do even though CAS kinds of cards scare the cr*p out of me!! I just find it a bit terrifying to have all that white space out there- does anyone else feel the same way?
Here is what I came up with.........I gave it a shot!!
I tried to keep it very simple (only a few stamps and a few colors of ink) and for me it is just hard to have all that white space there- eeek! I'm not sure if it's really awful or not.................someone please let me know what you think will ya? Because if its really BAD I 'll take the hint and stay away from CAS in the future.
The sentiment is from Studio G and the stamps are a combination of TAC and unknown manufacturers. The embossing folder is from Stampin Up.
Thanks for stopping in today and hope you all have a great crafty day!

Wow! It is beautiful! I love how the green cardstock barely shows! nicely done!!
ReplyDeleteI like it! CAS can be so hard as is any new style, try it again! Maybe read up on CAS and check out some popular CAS girls and see how they do it! :> But I do like this one too!!!
ReplyDeleteReally great card and an awesome textured background!
ReplyDeleteI like it too, Anne! I also have trouble with CAS cards. I love the texture surrounding your main panel and the stamping is fun and playful! Definitely do more! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice! I really think you captured the essence of clean and simple for the challenge. One of my favs! The embossing really sets it apart and I LOVE the pops of color! Good luck in the challenge!
ReplyDeleteAnne, you are too hard on yourself!! This card is seemingly simple ..yet you have added so much to the card--the embossed background, score lines, colors and varied stamped image! They captivate the interest of the viewers/receiver tremendously! You definitely have to make MORE CAS cards! I'd love to see you play CAS-Friday challenge as I think you are going to embrace this NEW style in you!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and those score lines are GREAT! I got your note about Scrapfest...thank u! Wish I was going, but unfortunately not. I'll have to put a big in someone's ear about next year. :) HUGS!
