MFT Teasers - Fred Bear Hits the Beach!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the new Fred Bear set. He's all decked out and ready to hit the beach (or the pool). This is what I will look like in a couple of days (perhaps I'll leave the fish out though - lol).

I used the Guest Designer challenge for this month to determine my colours. See the panels in the background? Remind you of anything? I was going for the Canadian flag - hope it worked! I sewed my panels on and then decided to wrap some twine around my brads too.

I pieced Fred's hat from cork and also the sandcastle from the Pure Innocence Beach Bum set. I covered his glasses, ring and lotion with clear glaze pen and added some glitter to his fish (is that a snack for later I wonder?). I also used some blender solution and a rag on Fred to give his fur some texture.

Here's a couple of things you need to know:

• July's release party is Wed. July 7th from 8-10pm EST in this thread in the MFT forum on Splitcoast
