It's Tuesday and you know what that means..... time for another post featuring a new image from BLD. For today's card, I decided to play with Beach Boy Todd. I spotted THIS card from stamper extraordinaire, Karen Motz awhile back and was instantly smitten with the layout. It was kind of a light bulb moment, because I literally spent hours trying to make a card. Then I decided it was time to "sleep on it" and start fresh in the morning.
Sometimes heeding my own advice works! Once I saw Karen's layout, I knew I could work it into a beach themed card. Believe it or not this paper is from My Mind's Eye's Love Me Do collection. You guys remember that one? Yep, another oldie, but goodie!
The yellow zig zag was actully created using my heart border die from Taylored Expressions. I had accidentally did this on another project and noticed Karen had used the same technique for her card! Karen has an excellent visual on her blog if you want to use the same technique. Click HERE to check it out.
