Today we are hugging an Australian!!!! Great way to start the day. Hugs to all our Aussie stampers, and a thanks for your inspiration. Not exactly casing a particular card, but used elements that Ms. Susie has inspired me, by her gorgeous cards. Her coloring is out of this world.....love the pencil creations--used colored pencils to shade my image. She uses liquid pearls to enhance many of images. If all else failures you can rescue a card by fussy cutting. Colored the newly bought fairy....didn't own a fairy image. Added shading with pencils, and dimension with liquid pearls. Stamped stars and dots with versamarker and gold embossing powder. Susie's bg are bold and vibrant.....describing many times how layers of color are done to the backgrounds. My lips freeze at this point...do I do a Susie background...if memory serves me right mine turn into mud. Played it safe, and used the dirty water and went around the image. Added wink of stella to certain parts, and finished it with the sentiment and black puffy paint. This is a card for my daughter in law who plants fairy gardens with her grandkids. TFL
