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
************************************************** ******* Sketch Challenge Time!
Our sketch is based on this darling card made by DT member fionna51 (Diane).
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.

I wish I knew how Diane created that curved top on her image panel. I was perplexed!
It is a trick I learned a long time ago but I think this is the first time that I used it. I used a piece of paper that was just a hair narrower than the largest circle punch and pushed it only half way into the punch to get the curved top. Here is a thread that describes how to do this with the tag punch...it works the same way! Forums at Splitcoaststampers
There's a link in this thread that takes you to another thread that has pictures, too.

Mystery solved! Thanks Diane for pointing me in the right direction. I really need to see a picture to finally have the Aha! moment. I went ahead a made my own picture as I thought it might be useful for those who need to know.
I suppose this would work with Nesties as well, but attention would have to be given to the other side so that it would not emboss. I might play around with that.
