I made this card for the Clean & Simple Challenge, CAS374 - Let the Background Talk (4/25/16). The challenge was slightly confusing, so I decided to make a couple of cards, hoping that one of them was in the spirit of the challenge.
There was mention made that clean & simple cards don't need to have lots of white space to be considered CAS, so I took that to mean, make a card clean in style with the background in color. ARG!!! This is WAY out of my comfort range. When I'm doing CAS, I revel in all that luscious white space!
I couldn't bring myself to do a totally colored card, I had to pop that green background in a crisp, white Woodgrain textured frame to bring peace to my CAS mindset. Ha...so it goes with challenges, the artistic freedom to interpret them as desired!
I appreciate you taking the time to peek at my bare branches background card, thank you kindly!

Giggles - you have me laughing Susy - I too love the white space, but I also so appreciate colour and how it can be used in CAS. I love your use of the green and how you framed it - great card with so many uses. Thanks for playing along in today's CAS challenge.

Wonderful card you've created with a change in your paradigm of a"talking background". Wait, maybe the "talking", white-space card you posted was a shift in your paradigm...don't know which card came first! LOL. You provide a great laugh, Suzy, and you do wonderful work!!
