Speedy Fox Featured Designer - Sue W





I am self-taught, although I have taken many classes from some of my favorite artists. I have been teaching rubber stamping around my state for over 10 years and love it.  I have had my work published in Vamp Stamp News, The Stamper's Sampler, Somerset Gallery, The Rubber Stamper and Scrap & Stamp Art. 
            In April 2012 I joined the SR design team of Mark’s Finest Papers.  Having a blog and being on design teams is a fun and easy way to share my love of rubber stamping.
            My passion right now is creating unique postcards and hand stamped greeting cards.  Other interests are carving my own stamps, bookmaking, beading and discovering new and improved techniques to share.
            On a personal note I'm married and live in Connecticut. My art is inspired by the mood I happen to be in at that moment.  When it comes to art I like to say, “What is old is new again!  “There are no mistakes in rubber stamping just happy accidents!”
Ink It!  Stamp It!  Use It!



Sue has created a great tutorial for us this week on using a Witch Easel Card you can find here.  Be sure to check out Sue's blog Ink It, Stamp It, Use It! for some AWESOME inspiration and tips. 

Be sure to come back next week for another article with our Featured Designer Sue W.

We went to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL and this was the center of a tiled Dali design in the courtyard.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.  I know I had to think about it awhile before I came up with something. Thanks so much for joining us each week. It is so much fun looking at all your Challenge cards.  Lots of talent and great ideas out there.
