So, do you abbreviate Clean & Simple as "CAS" or "C&S" - just wondering... Anyway, it is my favorite style of scrapbooking (a la Cathy Zielske) and one of my favorite styles for card-making. Natasha's wonderful site, clean&simple, has some really great examples and sketches of the CAS style. I saw this recent sketch - and loved her take on it. Unfortunately, I promptly forgot that I wanted to try it, but was reminded by Dee when she posted this darling card using that sketch.
My color inspiration came from a Prima product I saw in Michael's the other day, where light yellow was the "color pop" for a black and white theme. Since yellow is my favorite color - I decided to give it a go. This is simple and would be quick to duplicate, though CAS design often takes me just as long (or longer) to initially create. Go figure.
Supplies

Ink: Black (Memories)
Cardstock: Stamper's Select White and Lemon Tart (PaperTrey)

This is a beauty. Simplicity is not always easy to pull off. You rocked it! I have those epoxy flowers and figured out that if I stuck my nail on the edge, they come apart and I have 2 for the price of one. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

I absolutely love this card, Deb! Cathy Zielske is my hero and her book Clean & Simple (and the sequel) changed my life. :)
