Meljens Designs DT Day


 Today is my day to share on the Meljen's Design DT Blog and I wanted to share here as well .
I am sharing a Clean & Simple (CAS)  card. I love CAS cards and that is pretty much my style. Some have a hard time making a CAS card but for me it just comes easy here are a few things to remember when making a Clean & Simple card 

From the SCS CAS challenges:

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.
I used this sweet Little Bug Line to create my CAS card. The sentiment is a rub-on
