This is for fellow Aussie, Marg's fun DTGD challenge. I am really happy with the end result, but you should have seen it an hour ago when I put too much water on Grace's dress. It looked like she went down with the Titanic.
Plan B...stamp Gracie on another piece of card, redo her gown like I usually do with TH Distress Crayons, Gellato's, dry fingers and a baby wipe, Copics and various pens, fussy cut and stick back over the top of waterlogged Grace, thus keeping the original background.
Grammatically the above paragraph/sentence is wrong on every level, EXCEPT in Splitcoaststamperville.

As always, absolutely fabulous Susie. I knew she had to be yours as soon as I saw the thumbnail under another card I was commenting on. I'm a great believer in cutting and layering to save a beautiful and unreproducible background.

This is fantastic! I love what you have done here! Guess we are finding out why it is called dare to get dirty. Each day when I finish, I am not sure my hands will get clean again, but the end result is what we want to see.

Oh Susie, your background was definitely worth saving but Grace's dress is gorgeous and any wonder with all the work you put into it, absolutly beautiful.
I rarely throw cards out but I have managed to create one monstrosity this time that is definitely not seeing the light of day let alone net space lol.

It doesn't matter how many times you do this stamp, it's beautiful EVERY time!!!! I have to learn to use those crayons the way you do (since I bought a few sets because of YOU!!!). I love the way you make that dress look like layers of sheer fabric ( I'm afraid to show my fabric ignorance and actually NAME a fabric I think it looks like!! LOL!
I love her in green Susie, just beautiful!! I think our mudder gave you all the artistic talent mate!
