a SWEET digi release at Fresh Brewed Designs

Could today be any sweeter?

My cupcake craving is at a new high!

**prepare yourself for some ultimate drool action**

*and maybe a few Awww's*

Here is the card I created for our NEW DIGI RELEASE

LIL SWEETIE and SPRINKLES

I paired these sweet friends with a sentiment from the

SKINNY MINNIE is SWEET rubber stamp set

The image was colored using copic and prismacolor markers. 

I added little clear dew drops to the sentiment tag and little flat white sequins 

scattered throughout. The background and muli colored dot papers are from the

American Craft Craft Fair pack and the other dotty paper is from the

 My Minds Eye Bright Dots paper stack. 

One more peek at these little friends....

I had so much fun designing these digis and hope they are able to 

take care of your (creative) sweet tooth as well! 

Now hop on over to the Freshly Brewed Challenges Blog, 

Check out ALL of the DT creations and leave a comment to 

WIN one of these little sweeties for yourself!

have a SUPER SWEET and blessed day!

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I do hope you will visit our CHALLENGE BLOG to check out

all of the fantastic creations from our DT and GUESTS, Vanessa and Jeannie!

Stop by the shop to see ALL of the new releases.

Have a blessed day,

ELEPHANTS!!!

To the Movies

What would summer be without going to the movies?!?
EXTRA large buttery popcorn, EXTRA large sodas (with 2 straws ;)), holding sweaty hands and watching the big screen!

I am not sure which movie our elephant pair will choose, but I know they will enjoy getting out of the heat and escaping in to the movie magic that awaits them!
