CAS is my favourite style, fairly obvious from the past few cards. I think having taken all the effort to hand colour an image it seems a pity not to show it off by not making it too frilly. Having said that I do admire the ability to be able to embellish away and yet still keep the focus on the image, a skill I need to work on!
I hope you will be inspired to head on over to Love To Craft and take a look at the wonderful samples from my team mates and have a go yourself.
Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

Hi Pippa, this happy giraffe just made me smile. He's darling, and your coloring is wonderful. Agree that when you work so hard at coloring, it's best to keep the design simple and let the image take center stage. I can't manage the layering very well at all, but I love to see it done well. Tend to do the same designs, on my cards, and I should work on using sketches more (and layering!) TFS & Hugs. Have a great week. Hope you get some sunshine. We have a lovely day here in my area.
