CAS attempts

Hi Friends

I love clean and simple (CAS) cards. I mean I LOVE them.  But I cannot make them. I try and never NEVER like what turns out. Usually, I just toss them into a bin or deconstruct and reuse the materials.

Tonight, though, I am posting them. Mainly because I really wanted to play in Kim’s challenge at Off the Wall Craftiness.  I love the colors (robin’s egg blue and dark brown---yummy). 

Here are my attempts at CAS…

Both cards use Memory Box stamps (which I love but cannot seem to create anything I really like from). 

I may keep trying or I may just go back to my more layered and complicated style:)  I tend to like a challenge, so I will probably keep trying.

Thanks for stopping by and remember there’s the EBTKS sketch challenge going on where you have the opportunity to win a $25 gift card from Lawn Fawn!

Hugs and blessings

I hope that you never give up trying because I absolutely adore these CAS cards. They are so bright, so clean and so very cheery. Perfect-o!

I think those are great, but I agree CAS can be hard! Don't be alarmed when it takes several attempts to get it right.

Girl you did a fabulous job! I absolutely love the bird nest one! I don't know what you are talking about because you seem to be a pro at them!

I can't believe you're not crazy about these cards Lynnette. I would be very happy to receive one of these adorable cards in the mail, especially the top one....just saying =) and you did a fantastic job with the colouring on the bottom card. Love the wood grain.

I struggle with CAS too...but love the look when it does work out.
