cQc78 and FTL133 - Grateful

Color challenges scare me.  I love a good 'ol sketch challenge, but a color challenges give me the deer in headlights look.  I have been admiring Jen's color challenge creations lately over on her blog and since she, too, tells me she was initially scared by color challenges (a phobia she has CLEARLY gotten over), I decided to give it a whirl.  This week's colors on the ColourQ challenge blog were not so scary, so I figured this was a good week to play.  I combined this with the Clean & Simple Stamping Challenge for the week. 
Stamps:  MFT Framed Greetings Stamp set  Ink:  SU cholate chip  CS:  SU pink pirouette, certainly celery, crumb cake, early espresso, and white  Tools"  MFT Dienamics rolled flower, sponge, SU sizzlet little leaves  Accessories:  silver brad

UPDATE:  HOLY COW!  My card won!
