I'm not familiar w/ our FS today, but I enjoyed looking through Michelle's gallery. I have been accustomed to going to the last page of the FS gallery & looking at their first upload! Michelle's card, Candy Striped Wishes, got me w/ the frist glance as I loved the ribbon treatment. It was something I've never thought of doing. Here is Michelle's card: Candy-striped wishes by eliotstamps at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same ribbon treatment & birthday theme, but all else is changed. I inked my image in Old Olive & tapped on Summer Sun marker. I spritzed my w/c paper & the inked stamp & stamped. I really wanted to do something different, so here it is. I think there's a name for this technique, but I don't know what it is.
Michelle, I hope you like my version of your card.
Thanks for stopping to take a peek and have a great Sunday everyone.
I see there are still the dreaded RED X's in the gallery. What's up w/ that???

What a wonderful CASE, Karen!! You carried off that ribbon treatment spectacularly!! Your watercolor technique looks just super. I love how you blurred it for a soft and dreamy effect. Super work on this FS challenge

Looking at your beautiful card, there's so much I'd like to try! I'll dig out my watercolor paper and try spritzing, it looks fabulous! Also love the way you've used the ribbon - really unusual and pretty!
