I'm thrilled to be a guest designer for this week's CAS Challenge - a Limited Supplies Challenge to use only line stamps, no solid ones.
I chose a sea shells stamp I rarely use and paired it with a Happy Retirement greeting for a friend who is retiring soon (hopefully she'll get to spend some time on warm beaches!). It's stamped on rustic cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with coloured pencils. I left a border of the cardstock around the image and popped it up on dimensionals on a matching cardbase to keep it very CAS.
If any of you are sea shell experts, please forgive any inaccuracy in my colour choices for the shells!

Wonder CAS design. Uncluttered, lots of white space and one main focal point! Beautiful coloring. It looks like you used wonderful colors for each shell, although I'm not an expert. I like the softness of the color, too. Great job with the challenge! I like it alot. TFS

This is gorgeous and so appropriate for a retirement card! The upbeat, serene image is the perfect theme and your coloring and layout finish it in style. TFS!
