CAS14 - Let's Rock & Roll! (May 11, 2009)

[Miss Boo]

THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IS FINALLY HERE!
CLICK AND YOU SHALL FIND!


What is CAS?
CAS is an acronym for Clean and Simple.

There has been some discussion on threads in the general stamping forum about the definition of clean and simple. Here is what I have learned from it…

There are different ways people view CAS. It is very subjective. There is no list of rules that will fit everyone’s personal definition. The following are possible guidelines, only. Please do not feel afraid of playing in the CAS challenge or debate with yourself if you’ve created a CAS card. If it is a CAS card to you, put CAS in the keyword box.


1. Clean: the design is uncluttered with lots of white or open space. Simple: having a clear focal point without a lot going on to detract from it.

OR
2. simple in design regardless of the number of embellishments or how long it takes to color, stitch or to use a special technique

OR
3. can be copied and mass produced fairly quickly… usually without a lot of coloring, layers, embellishments, tools and/or techniques

OR
4. any combination of the above



************************************************** *******

Now on with the show!

This week we are using very simple technique called "Rock & Roll". The Rock & Roll technique can be seen here.

Keyword: CAS14

Samples to help you get started with ideas:

Angela's Card

Carolina's Card

Susan's Card

and another Susan card! How was I only supposed to link one when she made so many??? I broke the rule... as my son would say... "my bad"

Jen's Card
Psst... I made a lot too, but only because I didn't like anything I was making today.

Great challenge today!

My DH needed some thank you cards for his birthday gifts. I made several of these and I know he will really like them. He is Mr. Clean and Simple although he says everything I make is very nice. However, if he is going to write in it and sign it, he would prefer it clean and simple.
