SUNSHINE {Fresh Brewed Designs July Challenge}

IN THE SKY Challenge
FRESH BREWED DESIGNS

Hi my lovely followers and visitors, just a quick reminder about our current Challenge: IN THE SKY (add clouds, kites, balloons, birds, sun, etc.) that is happening over at Fresh Brewed Designs.  For all the rules and details, please click HERE.

I have created a centre step card using this Fresh Brewed Designs image called FAIRY LAZY DAY. Isn't it just so fun, would love to be lying under that toadstool right now.  You can purchase it here.  I have also used one of the clouds from the FBD image called PEEK A BOO SUNSHINE, as a template on green cardstock to create the little clouds.  You can find this image here.

The image has been coloured with Copics and chalks.  The design papers are a mix of FabScraps and BoBunny. The bling, buttons and raffia are from my stash. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.
