I am thrilled that this weeks Featured Stamper is my friend Wattle (Yay Australia!) and it really is no surprise as her work is stunning...infact I had starting casing her card this morning before I knew who the FS was.....I cased this card:
My version is a feminine one as it is a girlfriends birthday. I have done it in one of my favourite colour combinations, qualifying it for the OCCC. I do have to point out the the CS is not blue IRL...that is a trick of the lighting...it is actually True Thyme....I also used confetti CS and wish I used plain as it looks like there are a couple of marks on the CS...not so bad IRL...but shows up badly in the photo - in all reality I should have waited until the morning to take the photo - it is 1am and I am not redoing it now - ahhhh!
I have changed the DP x2, used lace instead of ribbon, different font for the sentiment...added the Die corners that were in a RAK from Jocelyn (JoBear2)
Thank you for looking and sorry Kathy...I don't think I did your card justice...I will do better tomorrow!! What do you think!?!?

Linda: That's so funny that you were casing her card even before you found out Kathy's was the featured stamper. And, she SO DESERVES IT!!! I fell in love with her gallery the first time I saw her post. Your card is marvelous. I like how you turned it into a feminine card with a change in colors and adding the lacy ribbon and flower corner pieces. What a great job! Kathy will be proud! TFS!

I showed my DH her card because she had HB Paul, he turned 40 and our last name is Jones. How ironic is that? I like your choice of colors and dp.
Great birthday card.
