HOC Clean & Simple or Classic & Elegant?

I have already posted my card for the House of Cards Clean & Simple, but I have one more card to show you.  This one I made for my husband for our 37th Anniversary this year. 

When I started the card I thought it would be okay for my Clean & Simple card, but once I was finished I thought it was a little too detailed for that entry so I decided to show it as a Classic & Elegant style.  What are your thoughts?
summer tones 
Once again this was the inspiration for the challenge.  Use the colours or the picture for your inspiration.  I decide to use a little of both.  I remember back in our courting days, as short as they were since we only new each other for 3 days before he asked me to marry him, he would bring me home flowers for no reason and just say "I Love You". 
Here is a closer look at the flowers and the hearts.  The flowers were made using the smallest of the Heart to Heart punch.  I punched out 3 hearts, sponged them and then folded them in half and glued 3 hearts together to form the flower.
  
The sentiment inside was inspired by our somewhat first date, a simple cup of coffee!  And yes the sentiment holds very true, I do love him more than our first cup of coffee!

So now you can decide.  Is this what you would call Clean & Simple or Classic & Elegant?

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Hi Nancy! Surprise, surprise this borders on Classic & Elegant. Still lots of white space but definitely classic & elegant! I understand there is a new genre out there called "layered CAS." Yours definitely fits that definition. Love how you made the flowers. Have a great day!

  2. OH my gosh I think that this card is awesome! LOVE the way you used the heart punch to make flowers! I think this could go either way--I think it's CAS and Classic at the same time! LOVE THIS! Mynn xx
