Can I CAS?

Clean and Simple (CAS) cards have not really been my strong suit. I find my eyes are most frequently drawn to complicated, heavily embellished or multiple layer projects. My inspiration boards on Pinterest definitely corroborate this! I started this batch of birthday cards during a crafting evening with friends, so I did not want to spend hours designing a card; I wanted to get crafting! So I tried my hand at CAS.

While I accomplished my CAS goal, these cards still took hours... although a lot of that was drying time after playing with making my green, yellow, and blue Brushos fireworks streaks!

  5. Oh how well I could relate to this post! I'm glad I'm not the only person who really struggles with clean and simple! I always take forever on my cards and the more layers, the better! So it was a real treat for me to see your project and to know that "simple" can be really stunning. These really are like mini works of art and I appreciate you showing me that a simple design can still really pack a punch! Thank you for sharing your work with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
