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

It's all about the design .
* not the technique
* not the tools
* not the embellishments

It's all about the design .
* Uncluttered
* lots of white or open space
* one main focal point

It's all about the design .

Clean & Simple

Fun challenge, Denise. It is not a technique I use often....have to be so careful embossing on a dark bg not to get those pesky light flecks. : )
