This is the 2nd card I made for today's Clean & Simple Challenge, CAS374 - Let the Background Talk (4/25/16). I don't really think that this style of CAS card is what was intended, because it was suggested to use a color other than white for the background.
All that being said, I'm called Captain Obvious for a reason!! If a talking background was called for, that means to me that there should be words filling the background, hence the embossed thank you panel behind the birds. I know I could have made the background blue and the birdies white, but what's the fun of that? Captain Obvious voted for blue birds, obviously! 😉
What might not be obvious to the casual observer is how totally cool this bird die from Concord & 9th is! They designed it so that you can cut the birdies on an A2 card front and it doesn't cut all the way to the edge. This allows you to slip a panel in back of the birds, making it super simple to create a quic, cool card. The birds also have wings that a partially cut so that you can lift and curl them for added dimension. So fun! Added bonus when you cut the bird die is that there are super-skinny outlines of the birds that are discards - they can be used to make another card. How cool is that?!
Thanks for looking!
