Congratulations to Colleen aka Katchoo1 as our Featured Stamper this week - keyword FS789. I am familiar with her more recent work, so started my Gallery viewing at her oldest projects and found TONS of inspiration!
I selected Black & White birthday by Katchoo1 at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge, as the stamps she used have been feeling neglected and I always loved them. I have a largish collection of dismounted old stamps that is labeled DOTS, SPOTS & CIRCLES.
I turned my card to landscape so I needed more punched circles, and of course added a few in Spanish just because I could. I used different Designer Series Papers and stamped the back white layer with the same Birthday image that I used inside. I used mini brads at the corners plus added one to the center of the focal point. I thought about adding sparkle there but decided not.
I am quite pleased with the outcome, and maybe this will go to a guy I know who loves flowers (in moderation LOL).
Gayle, this is a pretty case of Colleen's card. The mix of designer papers you used are great. I especially love the one strip of leaf paper. It is such a nice touch of softness with the circle patterns. Lovely!

Gayle, this is such a cool CASE! I knew instantly which card had inspired you when I saw yours in the gallery. Funnily enough, I was just holding that stamp set in my hand the other day and thinking that I need to use it again soon...this will give me another push. I love your rendition of the design with the extra circles and the Spanish versions of the images. Thank you so much!

This looks wonderful in the landscape mode. Lovin' the extra circles and how fun that some are Spanish. Great dps and the gradients of grays provide a lovely background to make the fun circle/flower elements pop. Great CASE and a Great Card.
