Here's my sample for Sabrina's WTUI challenge Let's Shine a Light. Hope you'll join us and show us your lovely lighthouses!
This pretty image was perfect for colored pencils and gamsol. So I sat outside in the sun and colored an afternoon away. I trimmed the edge with a border punch, embossed a rope panel to back the die cut sentiment and adhered to a blue card base. Added some gold gel pen for light and a little shine and white gel pen for waves. TFL

A beautiful scene, wonderful added texture, and a lovely punched edge. Great work, Carla.

Lucky you still having it warm enough to sit out and colour! There's a distinct autumn chill in the air here, not sure how much longer I can persist with my sandals.
The rope edge is just fabulous, and the twisted border punch. That is such a sweet, cosy looking little lighthouse, and your detailing on the waves looks brilliant.

Charming lighthouse image with the lighthouse keepers abode attached. Lovely coloring of the scene. I like the wave style punch you used at the bottom.
