Sue28(Sue), one of SCS's terrific Aussie card artists, was selected to be Featured Stamper this week. I am thrilled to see that she is finally recognized for all her talent and beautiful cards. I've been following her for years.
I bought this PB stamp to make a birthday card for a dear friend who is an avid fisherman. Gulf Coast of Florida in the winter going after the ocean fish and in the summer, fishing the waters of Lake Michigan for the freshwater varieties. His fishing boats are much more elaborate than this dinghy, but I know he will enjoy the spirit of the card. : ) So when I saw this CARD of Sue's I knew that this was "it"!
The water was done with Bisters and the rest was colored with conventional watercolors. Thanks for the inspiration, Sue.
Sue, a MOST well-deserved and well-earned honor. ENJOY!! Hugs, Sallie

I am so glad I stalk you Sallie....I just read about Sue in your description. She sure is a gem and your card in her honour is incredible. This looks like a mini work of art my friend.

Oh, good grief, can I un-post my last card using this image?
Sallie, this is phenomenal! You absolutely, totally blow me away with your gorgeous watercolors. Your friend should frame this!
I also totally agree with you about Sue. I'm glad I saw it here, too, because I don't always remember to check!

Sallie, I knew which card you CASED straight away - this is the most fabulous stamp to colour! Your colouring is always beyond amazing, I love the distressed edges on this card, perfect masculine card, especially for a "boatie"! You know I am a huge fan and you are always so sweet with your comments - thank you so much for honouring me with a card

Beautifully water coloured again. Great card for that bloke in your life that loves fishing - or perhaps for a woman who likes fishing too - entitled "the one that got away" he he. Love all your cards and can't wait to see the next one.

Another AMAZING card Sallie...AND a GREAT case of Sue's wonderful card. I love this image and your water coloring has definitely brought this image to life. I LOVE the way you colored your water....(Well actually the whole image) and the distressed edges are such a perfect way to frame this awesome creation.

Sallie, this is so perfect for your fisherman friend! He will cherish your thoughtfulness! Absolutely Gorgeous coloring, once again! I love the movement of the water that you've created....this is not only a water colored stamped image, but also a beautiful scene! Right into my fav's for inspiration~
