Winter Birthday

The Clean and Simple Challenge over at Outlawz is "A Winter Birthday."  Immediately, I thought of Ann's birthday at the end of November.  And I came up with this card for Ann:

But this card, is NOT clean and simple.  O.k, it may be simple, but it has too many layers to ever be a true CAS design.  So, when at first you don't succeed, try, try again.  I looked at my calendar of birthdays in winter and saw that there were oodles of possible recipients -- but most of them were male.  So, now I wanted a CAS card for a guy.  Hmmm.  One layer of dark blue cardstock, a Cornish Heritage Farms stamp and a Hampton Art sentiment, and some white embossing powder.  Then I went crazy with my trusty hole punches and punched away to simulate falling snow.  Here it is:

Cornish Heritage Farms

"The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer self-sufficient.

There is no other time when the world seems composed of one thing

and one thing only."
