I really only say I cased it if it's really the same. Maybe substitutions or something but basicly the same.
if I'm inspired by the card that's totally different. So I try to keep track of that too, people like to know that as well. But "inspired" to me means; element placement, color combo, a super cool way they added shadow on the stamped image, anything like that.
So basicly when I'm using the whole thing, or very close to the whole thing, like maybe less than three changes I'd call it CASED. Otherwise I say I'm inspired by the original.
Of course we are always inpsired by stuff all the time. So I don't always know who inspired what element I'm using, but if I DO know I try to credit.
don't loose sleep over this I'd say. I think you know if you are copying someone then you really need to give credit, the rest is on a curve really. It's nice, but as you add more and more of your own design choices to the piece it becomes yours.
