Reading through your "homework" makes me feel like I'm cheating on a test ... but I sure am learning a lot.

I love doing CAS as you know, and don't really have any design principles. I think of balance. If you can squint at your card and see roughly more than half is blank card space, then to me it is CAS!Sally Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957835282022260156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976209508229656885.post-55247937889045954562014-04-26T14:19:49.630+01:002014-04-26T14:19:49.630+01:00Don't know why you worry so much Paula - your ...Don't know why you worry so much Paula - your cards are beautiful!

Your work is consistently amazing. However, I wasn't aware that your precision could stifle your creativity at times, because everything I've seen you produce is so beautiful. I tend to be a perfectionist by nature too. LOL! Anyway, I have found that just "doing it" is usually the best way to deal with it. It's not always easy, especially if I'm feeling tired and overwhelmed. However, music, incense and a soothing drink (glass of wine or tea often do the trick) often help me loosen up when I'm getting ready to create. I also like to use "mistakes" as opportunities to improve my work by adding, deleting, or modifying my original plan. Anyway, I mainly want you to know that your work is always delightful and intriguing. Blessings to your and your husband, my friend!Arnoldo L.

I think the CAS style is actually incredibly tough to crack, and your examples show how you have absorbed the theory and applied with your usual meticulous style. I especially like the tone on tone elements of these samples and the great use of precise embossed lines too. I have to echo Val's comments, about your comments, you always take time to really look at what has been posted and see detail, colour blends and design elements that really show what an amazing eye for detail you have. If your course can help you approach future card making deadlines with less trepidation that will be brilliant for you.

I like the sound of the course you did and you have obviously enjoyed and benefited from it. <br />I greatly admire your design talents anyway and really appreciate the comments you make on my work. I have no real design knowledge, just what I pick up from looking at work that I like. <br />Thank you for sharing with us in this post, and look forward to seeing more of your talented work.<br />Jean xJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183311386760352838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976209508229656885.post-63339750295046643812014-04-25T14:55:50.649+01:002014-04-25T14:55:50.649+01:00Very Interesting.

I am torn between the asymmetry card and the focal point card as a favorite, and although green is often my colour of choice I find your focal point is just perfect. Design, colour and texture all work so well together.

Although I have some knowledge about the things you are writing about, I must say most of the time I create without ' understanding/thinking' but more from ' feeling' to do things a certain way....does that make sense? I love CAS cards and can really admire people who create eyecatching CAS cards. Thanks for your interesting post!

I'm sure you really do have an understanding of design principles in relation cards, particularly in view of your analytical and constructive comments (always appreciated in my case) on the work of other people. I can see from these cards that you are enjoying the course and producing excellent 'homework'.Aquariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975832984643090577noreply@blogger.com
