Clean and Simple at Cardz 4 Guyz

It's time for our new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this time we'd like to see a Clean and Simple card.

If you are unfamiliar with Clean and Simple (CAS) it means an uncluttered card, with plenty white space (the white space needn't actually be white, it can simply be unused space in whatever background colour you have chosen) with minimal layers and embellishments.


I've used a stamp of a cassette tape - remember those?  - and based my idea on a joke a friend shared on Facebook. I hand drew the pencil and printed the sentiment, using a suitably 1970s font, on my computer.

I think this would make a great card for a 50th birthday, because I expect nobody under that age would remember cassette tapes or why it was always necessary to have a pencil nearby when playing them.
The tape is a very useful stamp because, if your handwriting was better than mine, you could personalise it by writing the recipient's name or favourite piece of music on the label.
