Hello Sunshine

To create this card, I first printed the Lighthouse from Sweet n Sassy on 4 x 5 ¼ NeenahSolar White 80lb Cardstock. I then drew the rocks to make it look like the light house is on a cliff and printed the bird called Ahoy, Matey! from Whimsy Stamps.

I created the sky using a blender brush and Broken China Distress Oxide and for the Sea, I used Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch. The white foam was created with my White Gelly Roll pen.

Here is how I colored the images with my Copics and Spectrum Noir:

Grey for Bird and Lighthouse: W00, W1, W3

Aqua for Bird and Lighthouse: BG11, BG13, BG18

Beak and Feet: Y18, E33

Rocks: IG1, IG3, IG5

Grass: YG03, YG93, YG95

To make the card pop, I mounted the panel on 2 pieces of 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 Black Cardstock and glued everything on a top folding 5 ½ x 4 ¼ Accent Opaque 100lb Cardbase.
