My card design was inspired by the current challenge from the Global Design Project. I really like this inspiration card, and I really wanted to emulate it to participate. At first I was thinking I would create a Fall card with leaves since we’re in that season, but then I decided that I really wanted to get some Christmas on.

I used one of the stamps from Tasteful Touches for some background to emulate the watercolor/brick look on the inspiration card. I have to say that I’m pleased that I thought of that (if I do say so myself). I encourage you to try CASE’ing a card that you love. CASE means Copy And Stamp Entirely (or Everything). It’s a great way to get the creative juices flowing and there’s no shame in it. I also encourage you to get creative with it; if you don’t have all of the stamps or accessories, look in your stash for something that you can substitute. There are no card-making police, and you can take inspiration where you find it. The only thing is if you are sharing your project online, and you’ve directly copied someone, please give credit to the original creator. That’s just good manners.
