When I have trouble getting started on a project I turn to online inspiration - and I've wanted to CASE this card by Amy O'Neill for a while. I used the Stampin' Royalty color challenge and the Paper Players sketch challenge. This also qualifies for the Splitcoast CAS challenge to use a colored (non-neutral) card base.
First I stamped Off the Grid with Crushed Curry ink on the card stock base. Then I added banners of Real Red DSP and white card stock I stamped in Island Indigo with the Positively Chevron stamp. The sentiment (in black) comes from the set Four You. The finishing touches: three stars and three black candy dots, and finally a tiny strip of black card stock that seems to anchor the bottom of the card. Tip of the day: If you run out of black candy dots, like I did, just cover another color with a Sharpie. I'm sure this would work with other Sharpie colors too.
I think maybe there's a spark of creativity coming back to me... I enjoyed making this card, even though I feel very rusty. Hope you like it and thanks for visiting!

Great take on the inspiration card--love the colors and the pop of black! So glad our challenge inspired you to get crafty...thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!
Hi Lori! I LOVE your card! Such a fun mix of color and the stars really pop. I totally understand about sometimes having that lack of mojo with so much going on. I would never have guessed it by looking at your fab card, though. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :) Hope all is well. Hugs!
Great card, Lori! This is one of those cards that is perfect for anyone, male or female, young or old. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week!
