There’s a new challenge starting today at Simply Clean & Simple, where the theme is always “anything goes” – as long as it follows the Clean & Simple style. To add a little more fun there is also an optional twist you can play along with, and for this month it is “Love and Hearts.”
In general a clean and simple card has a lot of white (or open) space, one main focal point or image, clean lines, and minimal layers and embellishments. Of course there’s always some room for interpretation, but as a general rule, less is more when it comes to CAS!
Be sure to check out the challenge blog for some more inspiration!
