CAS19 Sketch: Natasha's Pink Blooms (6/15/09): Clean and Simple Cards

Miss Boo · 06-14-2009

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

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

Thanks for looking!

markie's mom · 06-15-2009

Whew!!! I masked and masked! I made a 3 layer card...The top layer is ALL MASKED! The only dimension is between the base and the 2nd layer! Markie asked why I didn't cut anything out except around the edges of the lily pad...If you read my description...You'll know why! LOL!

Here's today's 3 layer submission

here are my 2 cards I was inspired to make from Tasher's sample:

saffron sketch
pink sketch

I made a stack of each of these so I could be DONE with my TYs for the baby shower...now I need to fill them out and mail them while I'm vacationing--without stamping supplies!

Jen, this was an awesome challenge, I love the inspiration card and will be using this sketch often, I am sure!
