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).
PT: Scalloped borders and wee hearts.

Wonderful job!
I learned something today. I didn't know your name was Heather, and I didn't know you're in Alberta (that's where I live too!)
This is a gorgeous card. Great colors. I love the red and the gingham.
You totally deserve the honour of being queen. I constantly see you encouraging people in the gallery. Enjoy your week! What's the temperature like out your way? It's snowy here and getting colder!

This is the day the Lord has made, let us REJOICE and be GLAD in it!
