Challenge Inspiration

It's been a while since my last blog post...busy busy busy life!

There's a challenge going on right now over at Stamp Nation.  It's called Tag You're It!  Basically, someone posts a card and if you're inspired by it, you tag yourself in and then CASE that card.  CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything.  Sometimes, when I'm lacking in the inspiration department, I'll use a card that someone else has posted as the inspiration and CASE it!

The following card was posted from Catherine Pooler.  I decided to use three things from her card to come up with my own design.  I used the same three colors, repetitive sentiment, and black and white patterned paper.

This is the inspiration card:
 

And here is my card:

Since I pretty much only use Catherine Pooler inks, using the same three colors was an easy choice.  I took each ink pad and colored directly on white paper to create my own colored card stock.  Then I used a STAR die cut word and cut it four times into black card stock.  I also cut the STAR word into the colored card stock I made and used the inlay die cut method to put it in the black card stock.  Doing this was also using the repetitive sentiment inspiration from Catherine's card.  Finally I added a strip of black and white patterned paper to the bottom and embossed a white sentiment on the card and it was complete!

This challenge was fun and a good way to be inspired by others!
