Friday Sketch #47 - Relaxing At the Lake

This is a retired set from Stampin Up... one of my favorite from the Seaside Series..this is one set I was sorry to see go to the retirement home. Once I decided to use this image, I took out my trusty ole brayer. I stamped the image in Versa Mark then Staz On and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then colored in with my copics, used my Versa Marker Pen and carefully stayed within the lines of the image. Again put on clear embossing powder and heat embossed. I then brayered Baja Breeze over the entire image, used a post it note to create a horizon and sponged Not Quite Navy. Stamped in the tree and grass. After I put the entire card together, my husband looked at the sketch and said "What does text mean?"... It was at that point I realized that I forgot to stamp a sentiment... So I took a deep breath and stamped in "just a note" because it was small enough to fit in that space...
