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!

Brilliant, Robin - it's like a book illustration, it reminds me of some of Arthur Rackham's illustrations. Your background turned out so beautifully - and I love your grid stamp!
