Hello friends,
Finally got this done. The lighthouse for the Tea Potters in the colors of the color challenge...woohoo!!
Made a sunset of yellow and orange and the sea is blue green (closest I could come to the CC colors).
I used white pencil, white paint and stickles along the shore line for the sea foam and splashes up the rocks. I also tried to make it look a little more feminine with the die frame and ribbon. I was thinking cord and nautical knots but then, ah no, this is going to another Tea Potter not a guy so there ya go!.

This is gorgeous Robin. It reminds me off a lighthouse on the Maine coast in Bar Harbor that I have frequented a few times. If you climb down on the rocks you are able to see a beautiful sunset with vibrant colors very similar to the one you have created here! TFS

Robin, this is absolutely stunning with these colors. Your sea foam is wonderful. I don't believe I have ever seen this image before. It is wonderful and your coloring is fabulous. TFS.

Tee-hee...I was thinking about the knot myself. Love how you used the challenge colors, Robin. This image looks like the Bass Head light on Mt. Desert Island in ME - truly a spectacular lighthouse...thanks for sharing! Beautiful tickle card.
