Surf, Sun Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the Surf, Sun, & Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

We're in the midst of a heat wave and what better way to cool off then indoors crafting with some Stickles?! This month's hop is all about using Stickles on those fun, summer-themed projects we all love to create. 

 For my project I made a Sand-sational Shadowbox.
 I had the kit from a craft club and it was pretty basic. I swapped out the paper from the kit for something more fun and added a blinged out image and embellishments.

The image is Mermaid Fun from Fresh Brewed Designs. I colored her with Copics and added lots of Stickles.
The embellishments are stickers from the kit. Did you know Distressed Scattered Straw Stickles looks like sand? I added it to the starfish and then sprinkled real sand on it while it was still wet.
 For the shells I colored them with Copics first to match my image and then did the same stickles and sand technique.
The sand really pops on the sandcastle!

We have blog candy for those who are a follower of All that Stickles and leave a comment on every stop of the hop! Winners will be announced Wednesday July 24th at All that Stickles.
