HLS August CAS Challenge

Hey everyone, welcome back to a new challenge! Today is the start of our Clean and Simple Challenge where we are asking to use only one third of your card base to create on. 

This is a really great rule to apply to your CAS cards especially if you are just starting out or aren't perhaps comfortable with CAS designs. The rule is simple - use only one third!

Here are our designers -
