CASology CUE Card #52: NEON!

CASology CUE Card: NEON!

This week's CASology CUE was a little bit of a real challenge for me.
I did do another card that is cutesy and fun, however, I 
really wanted to do a punchy one layer CAS card!

I purchased this stamp because any time my mom and I would go into any pet store, we always are drawn to the vibrant glowing colors of the neon tetras.  
That is it!  
Hold on - PERFECT for the NEON Cue!

I just love creating movement and depth in my cards.  
Sometimes I achieve this and don't really realize it.  
That is what I like to call a  
"Happy Accident".

 Don't be afraid to experiment, color only a portion of a stamped image,
 or make it imperfect by choice.  Make it uniquely yours.
It may just surprise you!
