Hello

This was an attempt at doing a Clean & Simple card.  CAS is a style I admire tremendously, and this card came closer to that ideal than most of my previous attempts.  Obviously, I’ve still got a ways to go . . .

When it comes to adding surface interest via textured layers or anything at all dimensional, I do not tarry in the wings but jump immediately to center stage.  I have found that there are few layouts that can’t be helped by a little added interest in the way of embellies.  Judiciously chosen, of course . . .
