It's our Featured Stamper Challenge, and this week, Julie (justwritedesigns) has chosen, Pauline (meisu4).
WOW, Pauline...your gallery is full of creative and inspiring cards! I even did some retail therapy last night as I perused your offerings, wink. Needless to say, I'll be visiting again.
I chose Paree. I love the SA cities series and thought I would bring Sydney Harbor to your gallery today. I used a similar technique with TH Distress Oxides for my background. I took bleach and washed out my color for the magnificent Opera House and the yacht moving under the bridge.
I had fun deciding on a sentiment...looked to the Australian Slang site and found fair dinkum, which means true, genuine! I know our mate's down under are definitely that!!! oh, and I had to add the 'mate'.
Finished off with a Blue Moon and a few stars above.
Thanks for stopping by, and to Pauline...have a blast this weekend, reliving your cards we chose to case. I'll be back tonight to see the gallery...off to waterfall hike toward the coast...

How could I not love your card when it has my city on it, ha! Beautiful bg for the image, Susan, and ‘fair dinkum, mate’ is a pretty common expression in Australia - not that I use it! Best city in the world, but I’m biased!!

This is terrific, Susan! Somewhere in the back of my mind, I've heard that expression but I can't recall where. Love the Sydney skyline & wonderful colors.
