CASology #88: LUCKY

Hello, friends!  It's your LUCKY day...it's time for the new cue word at CASology!



This week we are sponsored once again by Cathy at Stamps and Scrapbooks....you can find out all the details at the CASology blog. 

I once again used a free digital image and sentiment for my card, this time an "oldie but a cutie" by Kim Hughes from Paper Smooches.  (I think these may have been Papercrafts Magazine free downloads years ago!) 

While I was at it, I made two cards...demonstrating some differences between CAS and not-so-CAS (maybe more "clean and layered" in this case).  Here is the "Clean and Simple" version of my card, using minimal embellishments, and while there are layers they are monochromatic, giving the feel of open "white space."

 

Here is the other "clean and layered" version of my card, with a busier background, less "white space," and a busier feeling overall:


If you ever have questions about what "clean and simple" means, feel free to ask any of the DT members or visit the "Helpful Hints" tab at the CASology blog...it's pretty clearly defined there!

Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time).  You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

    I like both takes on your card. The second one is less CAS but I think I'd consider it still somewhat CAS! Fun image!

    Both cards are fantastic. So colorful and happy. I agree with Meghan--the first one is clearly CAS, but the second one is not too far away. White space can also be green (did I hear Kermit the frog say that, or am I just imagining things?)

    Love your pretty rainbow cards Judy. I think I agree with the consensus that the first card is the most CAS, but I do like the green paper on your second! Have a good week!

    Both cards are so fun, Judy! I love how you played with the shamrock, and really appreciate that you took the time to time to demo and talk about CAS cards!

    I really love how you gave us two different examples using the same stamp! More and more I'm finding myself to be a "clean and layered" stamper as opposed to a CAS one:)

    Thanks for showing us your two examples of your card. I like them both, but find myself drawn more to your CAS card. Very cute image, and great coloring!! Bev
