Whoa... that word 'genius?' MFT's word not mine!! lol But, CAS is a style I love - and even after a few years, I struggle with at times. So! Why not put it to the ultimate test? I'm throwing a card into the Clean & Simple Genius ring for...
You'll tell me if it's as CAS as I hope it is...
Inside: YOU are a total stand-out in our class. mate!
I've taken just one of the fun fish from Fish You Were Here and stamped it multiple times - free wheeling it - just like my casts are when I'm fishing! Then I chose one of these guys to "do the talking" using the coordinating die. An itty bit of Copic coloring , and a layer of Nuvo crystal glaze, was all it took to make him the stand-out in his school.
Here's a fun idea, when CAS is your choice - add a bit of color that only the recipient will see on closer inspection! I've chosen to mimic my class clown fish's colors and use orange fun foam as my panel-backer, and bright green for my sentiment strip!
Okay. I know it's not a GENIUS idea... but fun, just the same!
Fish me luck … I'm throwing it into the ocean of CAS Genius cards there in the MFT gallery!
