CAS116 - Artist's Rule of 3 (April 25, 2011)

[Miss Boo]

What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple. Below is the reworded definition.

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

Like many before me I have combined the stamping in a die challenge, but I think I have managed to keep the idea of clean and simple with lots of open space, uncluttered.
