new FBD challenge and more!

100th Challenge! Anything goes this round!  It's summertime and I loooove summer.  I actually found a file folder with stickers and jollee's stuff all perfectly organized, which would have been awesome of me had I known where I shoved it.  The good news is that when you find old stuff, it's like new again; sometimes.  Anyhow... in my folder was some Jollee's stickers and this beach towel is one of them.  I cut in in half though, it was much wider and now I can make another card... yay. 

 I used a combo of real sand and sand paper for my beach, which by the way, this beautifully drawn tropical scene is a Fresh Brewed Designs digi called Peace Be Still.  I colored it with glimmer chalks and copic markers.  the ocean foam is liquid applique. 


enjoying this scene is Sunbathing Beach Babe, a FBD rubber stamp.  I created the beach ball myself with a round punch and markers and a few fun umbrellas from the dollar store.... viola!

    Girl, I LOOOOOVE THIS CARD!!! That towel and umbrella are AMAZING! I love that you created the beach ball all yourself. It looks PERFECT!

    I, too, often lose / misplace things or hoard them because I don't want them to be gone, lol!!! So glad you found it! I LOVE the way it looks.

    BIG HUGS!!!
