CAS Mix Up Card Challenge

I'm so pleased to be a guest designer this month for  CAS Mix Up Challenge. The challenge this month is water color and the  prompt is Beach and I always think of the beach as a relaxing place to be. Everything is water colored except the color on the flip flops. That is done with a Copic marker. The beach chair is a die by Gina Marie and the flip flops and sentiment by Lawn Fawn. I hope you are relaxing even if it's not on a beach.






Be kind to one another.

Congratulations on guest designing for CAS Mix Up, Brenda! Your beach scene looks like a photo out of a magazine! Brilliant inspiration for us for the challenge prompt! Especially me because I clearly need to go have my new lenses lasered off. Every time I look at the challenge badge I read, "bleach!" Let's talk soon. I need some Daisy stories! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
