I stamped with the backdrop MFT stamp, and then watercolored with Marina Mist I used my aqua painter to spread ink around as I had the old style ink pad and the flat backgrounds stamp showed the linen marks from the stamp pad. I added a few splotches of azure smooch to the water after I stamped the birds in choc. chip. I added T.T.W. happy birthday in marina mist along the fore stay of the sailboat using stamp a ma jig. Sponged all the edges with marina mist. This is for alpha. challenge "W" and double to use Wetlands. Also used the striped ribbon for WT625 challenge. TFL

Wonderful masculine card. The wide, striped ribbon is a creative idea for the challenge. I like how you stamped Happy Birthday along the edge of the sail on the ship. The wetland birds are so cute, love the water & shadows. Well done for both challenges. TFS

I've not seen this bird stamp used at the top of a card, and I really like that, Shirl! I love the placement of the sentiment! This card is very creative, Shirl!! Great art!
