I saw a card like this on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot, but when all was said and done, I just did not like the way it turned out. I originally blended the colors with inks and sponges, but it was just not working. Plus, I had to start over a couple times 'cause I messed it up, bumping colors where they weren't suppose to be, plus a few other blunders. It started vertically as a book fold, but on the 3rd attempt, I decided to turn it horizontally as a tent fold. Finally, I resigned myself that this was not happening, so I just started fiddling with it. I took some copics and blended it in all the different colors, and this is how it came out. I also added some reflecton on the water with a Sakura gold, glitter, jelly roll pen and gave the flamingo some bling too! (See 3rd photo.)
Then I thought it could use a sentiment and a flower.
Reflection
Then one of the challenges was on the beach, so I took apart another card and added some sand.
Then I thought it could use a palm tree, so I took the tree off the the same card that I took the sand.
Ya know, sometimes it's just best to go with the clean and simple!
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along!
Blessings!
