Here is my card with both dots and stripes.
After completing the coloring, I took a deep breath and die cut it with Die-Namics striped sentiment strip. I added dimension under every other strip with an extra strip of card stock. The stripes are there, but not as noticeable. The background of dots was made with Simon Says Tiny dots background stamp. Of course, the sentiment is Gina K Designs Birthday Greetings.
She is a jazzy pianist, music teacher, and paper crafter. You will be amazed.
There is more interesting inspiration for you if you just go to
Seize the Birthday, you will find the team designs there for you.

ReplyDeleteI too like it when we have toppings, even though this one really did challenge me! Your interpretation of the stripes half is brilliant! The iris retains all its beauty but the layering adds even more interest. Beautiful!
