FBD Digi Release - August - WAVES OF FUN

Good Morning!

Can you believe it is time for another fun digi release

from

FRESH BREWED DESIGNS?

I am the owner, and I still can't believe it :)

This summer has flown by, so I decided to create several new mermaid digital stamps

to hopefully capture one last glimpse of the magic it brings.

For my cards, I chose to create with 

MALUHA and MARISOL

First up is MARISOL

*one name meaning: loneliness

I LOVE her! Don't you?

I am so critical of myself when drawing / sketching things.

She was one of those that just HAPPENED.

The pencil drew her and I watched her be created.

Coloring my own images is a whole different experience.

I think that my mind gets away from the fact that I actually drew her, 

then focuses on bringing the image (Marisol in this instance)

to life. I really enjoyed coloring her, adding the touches of glitter, 

seashells, and gold glass beads. 

{Here is a closer look of the glass beads}

The background paper was also fun to create. 

I got out my kids old crayola watercolor and went to town!

I was flinging paint and splattering it and having so much fun.

THEN I came back into the kitchen to wash my hands and found

that I had splattered paint up the entire wall, all over the cabinets and

UNDER the cabinets as well. OOPS!! Thankfully it wiped right up :)

While the paint was still wet, I added salt to create the distressed look, let it 

dry, then added spots of glitter and some gold frantage. 

Now it is time to meet

MALUHIA

*name meaning: Peace, serenity 

I kept in the same color families when shading this image.

I chose a charcoal grey for the background to give it a dreamier, sort of

dusky feel. The paper was created the same was as the first. 

The sentiment is a rub on.  

Here is a photo of the sparkle and glass beads.
