Happy Father's Day

Are you ready for another sketch from The Sweet Stop?  

 I used this week's sketch for showcasing & embellishing my image, Deckchair Dreaming from LOTV. The DP is from MME - Good Day Sunshine Boy {love this paper!!} and I used the same tiny dotted paper for paper piecing the fabric on the chair.  The sentiment I used is from Your Next Stamps - Scene Sentiments.  I double stamped the little bird, glass of lemonade and the newspaper and popped them up for dimension.  Oh, and the glass of lemonade was also given a thick coat of Glossy Accents.  But my favorite part is the real sand!!  I have been wanting to try using sand on my beachy cards forever and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out!!  :)   To create the "shadowed" sand under his chair I dyed it with a Copic!!  It was super easy... Using white craft sand, I put a small spoonful in a ziplock bag and used 2-3 drops of E35 from my refill bottle.  I then just smooshed it all together until the ink had soaked into all of the sand.  I wish you could all see and feel it in real life...the texture is just so much fun!!  Be sure to use a good quality glue (such as what you would use to apply ultra fine glitter), to prevent the sand from rubbing off - 'cause you're gonna want to touch it!!  :)
