Before today's featured stamper was announced, I decided to use this challenge to make a birthday card for my daughter. When I found out ctorina was the featured stamper, I had a mixed reaction of excitement ("Wow! What a great selection of cards") and FEAR ("Uh oh. Am I up to this challenge?") One of the hardest decisions was what changes to make. Cathleen's cards are so gorgeous just as they are. I wanted to CASE several, but I had to pick one I could actually make. So, I chose this card: IC208 Smile by ctorina at Splitcoaststampers.
I changed the color from orange to Bermuda Bay and the sentiment from Smile to Birthday wishes. I used a brad for my flower center and my squares are slightly different.
Congratulations, Cathleen. And thanks for sharing your masterpieces with us.

Lorie, am I ever impressed! First of all, I love teal like no tomorrow. Your card is stunning. So very rich and elegant. Your flower is wonderfully perfect and the brad as the center is magnificent. Oh boy, do I ever love this one, girl.
