WWC64 - Heidi's CAS to Cebrate Spring Challenge

It's time for another challenge and this week Heidi Weaver has created a CAS (clean and simple) challenge which is all about Spring.  A lot of people find this type of card very difficult.  What is clean and simple?  According to the challenges which host only CAS (clean and simple), this is what one aims to do:  CAS (acronym for "clean and simple":  A design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments, most often single layered or minimal layers.

Do all those coloured squares in the challenge picture mean anything?  Nope!  They're just there to dress up the picture a bit.   Just so we're clear on the "white space".  This can be any colour.  For example, Jean has used a coloured base and then added embossing.  For her card, the colour is the "white space" and the simplicity of her design is clearly CAS.  As usual, you can click on the name under the card to go to the blog post and discover all the details about the products and creation of the card.  Let's begin with Heidi's "hello" to Springtime:
