For Kay, our featured stamper. I cased her first attempt at a kickstand card found here. Birthday Kick Stand by Speedystamper at Splitcoaststampers I was trying to do a speedy stamp, but I just can't leave well enough alone and added infinitely more steps than was necessary and then spent a GREAT deal of time trying to find paper to match!!! I use a scanner so it is difficult to see the "kickstand" effect. I embossed the flowers, colored with markers, clear embossed and then brayered/sponged bg color then stamped and misted botanicals. I didn't like the harlequin print and tried to wash it out, then covered the line at the top of it with ribbon.

I was just thinking that was a really great device to just use the harlequin on part of the background. Love those embellishment opportunities! This is a really great card.
