  2. Susan....This tag is adorable! i so love your vintage image of the bathing beauties. My, my....swimsuits have come a LONG way, haven't they? :) Your stamped and colored shells are awesome!I love that you stamped them in the same colors you water colored them with! That really is a nice effect instead of stamping in black. I also really like your background splattered tag...very "watery" feeling. Your little anchor and chain are also way cute! Thanks for joining us and sharing your art at CC3C. <3 Candy

  3. This tag is delightful Susan- and how appropriate is the watercolor for this scene! I like the distressed edges on the vintage photo & the watery feel of the ribbon choice. That anchor and chain diecut and the paper choice for the sand are great added elements... well done toots!
