CAS Colours & Sketches #230

Hi Peeps
Its with great excitement that I can say I'm the Guest Designer at CAS Colours & Sketches for the month of July! Woop Woop!! :)
So, to kick off this month, it's a colour challenge:



Here is my card:

Stamp set used - Magical Day - Neat & Tangled.
Coloured with Promarkers.
Embellished with clear glitter.

A few guidelines for the challenge:

• Clean & Simple - For our challenges, "Clean and Simple" is defined as "uncluttered, with white or open space, and minimal layers and embellishments".
• Cards Only - We are a card making challenge.  You must create a Clean and Simple styled card showing your own artwork.  Please do not submit scrapbook pages, artists' trading cards, 3-D items, tags, cards using digital images coloured by computerized methods, etc.
• Just the Challenge Colors - For our colour challenges, you must use only the stated challenge colours, plus you may use white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black cardstock for card layers and those colours of ink for sentiments and image outlines.  We use Stampin' Up! colour names for reference.  However, you are welcome to use any companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible.

That's it for today, hope you'll join in the challenge :)
