Hi all, I tried my hand at a Susie Australia card but I need way more practice...it is way harder than she makes it sound (at least to me!) I started with Brushos then moved to the stamping, after stamping I added more color with the smack and squirt technique of Susie's only I sprayed some Dylusions instead of smacking distress ink down. I used a sponge applicator. I then stamped the grid in London Fog then randomly stamped some spots of silver grid. I used a bleach pen on the hanging flowers to make them look like they were glowing like lanterns. The mushrooms I only added glitter pen to (which you can't see). I added Wink of Stella to the wings and you can't see that either. Drat!
Ok, more practice is needed and since I just got a boat load of Levina stamps (because of my dear mate Susie) I will have lots of opportunity!
Thanks for looking! I already see something I should have done but, I'm not telling!

A magical look and feeling, Robin. I like how you did the overlapping grids...clever girl. The colors are so deep, rich, and luscious. Magical type of images to create this aura.
