Fabulous Chandeliers

What a relief it is to finally ink up some new stamps!  I got these when my mom visited in early July and they have just sat patiently in their box waiting to be played with.



I rolled together a few challenges to come up with this:


Now that I think about it, this card isn't as 'clean and simple' as they come, is it?  I was really focusing on the colors and not the fact that it was supposed to be CAS.  Oh well.  It's sorta CAS, so I'll stick with it!

See you soon,
Colleen
