This card was inspired by two challenges. This week's Addicted To CAS - Diamond, and Muse Challenge #284.
While surfing though links yesterday I came across the Muse Challenge. This is a CASE challenge where each week one of the DT's or Guest DT's present their card design, and the challengers' take their shot at CASE'ing it. The gorgeous card below, by Michelle W., is the inspiration for this week's challenge; you can jump over to her blog here.
Now over at Addicted to CAS, the code word this week is Diamond. The DT has some wonderful creations, but it was a card by Ceal (here) that gave me the final inspiration for my card.
For the Muse challenge, the red is pulled into the background via the ink blended Diamond (Distress Candied Apple Red) and sequins while still having a floral theme (Altenew). The DP edging was excluded mostly because I don't have any DP or stamps that could mimic Michelle's design.
For the Addicted To CAS challenge this card might be a bit close to the line for a true CAS, but it still has lots of open white space.
So thank you to both challenge Host's for the inspiration today. This card has the added benefit of working in a variety of colors.
Thank you for stopping in.

This card is for Fusion Challenge: Primary Bookcase. This card is actually the 4th one I made. The other three were cluttered because I was trying too hard to match the sketch, incorporate a bookcase and layer in the colors. Since none of them were any good I wasn't going to submit anything, but as I was working on a different challenge this evening, it finally hit me how to layout the bots.
It's not much, just a simple one layer card, but it has dimension, texture and a simple straight forward sentiment. Its after midnight here so I had to use a desk lamp to take the picture instead of natural light.
The robots stamp set is by Clearly Besotted (Mini Bots) and the sentiment is from Altenew (Birthday Greetings). I used color pencils on the robots and SU markers on the "Happy" sentiment. Unfortunately I have no idea about the washi tape, it is not marked.
I just checked out the other submissions and there are some wonderful cards in the gallery.
Thank you for stopping by.
