Happy Little Stampers Sep Sketch Challenge

Happy Thursday!

I was playing with my new stamps from the Transformations collection (Club Scrap) and I made a simple one-layer card...
I was inspired by the sketch at Happy Little Stampers...it reminds me of Piet Mondrian's art!

After deciding where I wanted the "squares", I changed the colors and made this card...and added a few black strips...

Challenges:
1. HLS Sep Sketch Challenge

My card was inspired by an old sketch (Sketch#123) at Cardabilities:

Octopus Masculine Card

Hello,

The Card Concept is having a DT Call and you're supposed to use a past challenge...so I chose #12, 'cause I didn't have the chance to play:

I had a gorgeous CAS card design in mind (at least in my mind it was!), but due to a die cut machine not wanting to cooperate, I had to go to plan B!

Here's my card - a Mixed Media Card:

I was inspired by the anchor at first, but had to change it to...an Octopus! I've been obsessed with them lately...

I was also inspired by the colors.

I would like to be a Mixed Media designer for The Card Concept because I'm a bit eclectic.

My style varies depending on the photo inspiration, stamps and papers I use but I'm in love with textures and different supplies I've purchased lately...so being on the team would give me an "excuse" to use them and create! =)

Thank you for the opportunity!

(update 06/11/15)

I would like to link this card to:

1. The Paper Players #248: Masculine Card
2. Craft it Up Link it Up Father's Day Linky Party Week 1

Cuttlebug machine and dies
washi tape
3-D foam tape
