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...

Such a fun and thoughtful card/case, Susan. I agree our mates from Australia are certainly true. Wonderful technique too. Great card. Hugz

Fair dinkum mate, this is such a fabulous way to start my day. I just peeped in the gallery and my eyes were drawn to this wonderful creation. You even captured the colours of our sunny skies perfectly. Love this to bits my friend.

This is such a fantastic case Susan. I love how you bleached out part of the scene in order to highlight your beautifully sponged skyline. Thank yu for explaining the sentiment- I always love learning something new like this. I hope you had a great hike today! ~Karen.
