I did a Clean and Simple card for you. (I am not sure why people call this card style "simple" because they are so hard to make! I can make 4 of my regular, layered style in the time it takes me to make one card in CAS style! 

I was thinking about New Year's when I colored these fish...I wanted them to be blue and silver, and sparkly! I Stamped the fish images from the HCPC-3739 Under the Sea Cling Stamp Set with black ink onto white cardstock. I colored the fish with Copic markers and then added some sparkle with a Wink of Stella pen.

I used the HCD1-799 Under the Sea Die Set to cut out both fish so that I could pop them off the embossed background.

I added some ribbon layers and a sentiment cut from the HCDP1-266 Under the Sea Paper Collection. To make the layers pop, I edged the white cardstock and the sentiment with a Copic marker.
