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

Beautiful! I really like this stamp and have resisted... but I keep coming back to it. Your water coloring is wonderful and the distressed edges a great touch. Beautiful!

How beautiful this is. It brings back some wonderful memories of time spent on Balsam Lake up north, I didn't fish, I just relaxed! Wonderful card Sallie. tfs

I knew right away which card of Sue's you decided on today, and what a fantastic job you've done! That is a fantastic image with wonderful detail. Love, love, love the water you created around the boat - I am in awe of your water coloring skills!
