Well we all know how much I struggle with CAS and this card clearly displays that! Sometimes I am just at a loss with this whole clean and simple process. I don't get it very often, I love my layers and my designer papers, I think I like to hide behind them or something. :) Not sure why, but it gets me every time! Now with that build up, here's my uhm.....beautiful....yeah beautiful card. Yeah, that's the ticket! lol
Here's the CASology Challenge, Week 69, Brown........nailed it! hahahahaha

Just a lonely little Christmas Tree in the woods. I used the Cuttlebug wood grain embossing folder to add texture, then swiped over it with a Frost White ColorBox ink, to add a bit of depth to the look. The tree is a simple triangle, cut out in chipboard and topped with a piece of designer paper. The sentiment is a random cling stamp, may even be a $1 stamp, not sure. I have all my first inexpensive stamps in cd cases, no packaging, no labels......have no clue WHO they are. Seemed like such a good idea in the early days of stamping and organizing. Eek! :) And that's my card. I did outline the tree stump with a white gel pen so you could at least see it against the brown background. Yay me! lol
Let's hope tomorrow brings something just a wee bit more interesting, aye?
Hope you have a clean and simple kind of day, though.....no complications!
Thanks for popping in!
ENJOY~~
