Back again with a card for the new Allsorts Challenge and this time they are asking for **Clean and Simple (CAS) with the option of Elegance**. I'd say my card is CAS but will leave the decision about 'elegance' to my viewers and the design team - not sure if it qualifies on that point. I've used some dies which I've had for a while and as the lines are quite fine it was quite a task to apply glue to them so I hope they all stay put. Quite a bit of 'white space (which is actually cream) and the sentiment was stamped direct with the aid of a positioning platform - not sure where I'd be without that - probably ending up with lots of throw-away pieces of card with messy stamping on them 😉. Black and gold card from my scrap boxes was used for the die cutting.
Dies Used - Birdcages set from Sizzix
Sentiment - stamp from a favourite magazine freebie set
As with all art it's subjective but to my mind this fits the CAS style well, lots of open space and a very attractive design. Thanks so much for joining us at Allsorts this week.
