Marisa, aka whiterockmama, aka MamaRitzi was our Featured Stamper earlier this month. I'm late out of the gate as usual, but it was her birthday last week. I decided to CASE another one of the many fabulous cards in her gallery as a birthday card. I chose this card as my inspiration as it was a comment I made about the snow in the background of her photo that resulted in our first round of back and forth messages. Two years later and all I can see when I look outside is snow, snow snow - how about you Marisa!?! Are the cherry trees out your way in blossom yet?
Things I changed: Different stamps; made it a birthday card; added wet & dry embossing and score lines. And, since it was for Marisa, I had to be sure to include Verve stamps & Swiss Dots!
I perused this week's Inspiration Challenge website too and used the Nurse Barbie as inspiration: the pleats on her dress are represented in the score lines; I have included polka dots and I used the black/red/white colour combo.
This also fits Glenda's Random Amusing challenge # 101 to use both polka dots and stripes on a card. I have striped ribbon and score lines and polka dotted ribbon and Swiss Dots.
So, happy belated birthday Marisa. Hope you had a great day and a year filled with blessings (and stamping).

I have been remiss in my gallery gazing, or there is NO WAY I would have missed this amazing beauty!! I absolutely LOVE it, MamaIzzy You have used Swiss Dots to perfection and I'm loving the scoring you added. Way to flash some Verve flowers and your touches of ribbon are perfection. A true beauty - thank you SO much!! Can't wait to see it in real life
I can't believe it has been two years already! No snow in our back yard now - but the Ark is due to sail by any day now - ugh!! Mind you it may get grounded in the moss that is having a hay day spreading across the back yard - double ugh!! Ready to trade you snow for rain.
Hugest (((hugz))) my friend!!!
