Thanks for the wonderful sketch, Amber! Thanks for hosting!
The image was stamped then colored using copics! The hat and the pants were paper pieced! They were then clear embossed. The sky was sponged using bashful blue and then stamped using cloud stamp (Stampscapes) with white ink. The sand was stamped (Stampscapes) using creamy caramel. The water was done using aquapen with brilliance blue reinkers and then added whitecaps with gelpen! TFL
This is also for a DDC Challenge I do with some of my SCS friends. We were to use kraft, regal rose and black colors. We also had to paper piece and paper pierce! This was hosted by Charlene (LilLuvsStampin) Fun, Charlene! TFL
Have a marvelous evening!

Yikes! I *love* it all! This SC is beautiful, but your textures and colors make it a knock out!
