Channeling My Inner Ardyth

Hello there!  I sat down about an hour ago to write this post when boom!  Out went the power.  Strange as it is a calm, crisp evening with no wind.  Anyway I dashed upstairs to make sure mom was sorted with lanterns and water and just as we got everything together the power came back on.  Always the way isn't it?  Ah well.  I'm grateful it was just a quick outage and we'll consider it a drill for future problems.  :)  

Back to the card. I wanted to play along with Muse where we have a beautiful, bright card from Anita.  I never think to use pink and orange together but then I see it here on Anita's card and I think it's bold and a bit sassy and I love it!  I decided I was going to channel my inner Ardyth and try to break down and capture the very basics of Anita's card.  In the end I decided that was pink, orange, black and a flower and I came up with the above.  And then I saw Ardyth's Muse card and realized she completely out-Ardythed me!  Ha ha!  See what I mean about how she perfectly CASifies but still captures the essence of the Muse card?  This is why I think she (and her style) are so awesome.
