I've got several favorite stampers here and one of them is Susie (susie australia)
Today I've visited Susie's gallery again, and I love her amazing mixed media projects, so my card today is inspired by Susie's gallery
I've started by gluing a part of a book page on the sketch block, covered with a layer of gesso and let it dry, then I've sponged all the DOX colors with make up brushes, splattered water, stamped the pine cone flowers at the bottom with crimson red, stamped the reed with vintage sepia and the script with onyx black,stenciled modeling paste at the top, stamped the sentiment at the bottom, it says: Laugh like you breathe , the banner says: Flower Power
The image is colored with pencils and chameleon markers, doodled a frame and layered this with black card stock on the orange base.

You nailed Susie's style! I miss seeing her in the gallery....i'm glad you chose her to CASE. I love the stamped script and all the other things lurking in the bg of this and of course the doodling around the edges. Great Mixed Media card!

Your multi layered background is very you but definitely also very Susie. I like that we can just see the book page showing through, that's a look I really like.
