Today at Fresh Brewed Designs we are having a BEACH DAY!
All of the cards featured today showcase Grace Beach Fun - a NEW FBD digital stamp.
when I started my card... I hated it, lol!
I was so irritated that it was not coming together right. I was busy cleaning and doing a thousand other things, I should have known better than to start it at that moment. I walked away, came back. I decided to switch papers. I chose to use this fun October Afternoon paper : Fly a Kite Dandelions
The yellow was bright and fun and perfect! I already had this blue circle cut out.. so I made blue banners and glued them down. HATED IT! hahaha!!! I just looked at it for a long time and again walked away.
When I came back I decided to get out my big fat paint pen. An Elmers painters marker to be exact.
It was a little messy, but better. Smiling a little here. Then I embossed the circle. Better. Traced around the circle with the pen. Better... again. Then I decided to print out this fbd sentiment, cut out some MFT Dienamics clouds.. a circle punched sun and - voila. There you have it! My once hated, now muchly liked card for today.
She is colored up with prismacolor markers, copic markers and sharpie markers.
Thank you for stopping by today and reading my rambling mess of a post :D
Have a happy Friday!
