CAS37: With Sympathy (10/19/09)

[Miss Boo]

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



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

Theme: Sympathy
I chose to make a baby sympathy card in honor of my son and two nieces... who never had the chance to grow and play. You may make any type of sympathy card.


Keyword: CAS37


DT samples to help you get started with ideas:

We have all experienced difficulties with uploading our cards tonight. After several tries, 3 of us were able to finally get our samples uploaded. However, Jen still hasn't been successful. Although this is highly unusual, I'm linking Jen's blog post to her sample for today's challenge. I'll be able to change it later when the gallery is working for her.

Patty's Card

Ryann's Card

[cotdsffs]

Here is a card that is for the loss of a baby or toddler. The glitter (which you can't see well in the photo) isn't heavy but adds a type of specialness to the angel's wings. TFL.

[cotdsffs]

Yes. I had to upload my card about four times before it went through far enough to add the materials used.
