Instead of glossy white paper, I used Shimmery White for the background of the lighthouse. I painted it with reinkers and my aquapainter, then dried it with my heat gun before stamping and embossing with clear EP. I brayered over it with Night of Navy ink, going over it several times to get a nice dark color. I used a paper towel to buff the excess ink off the embossed part. Then I added the beam of light with a white gel pen and used a Sakura Stardust glitter pen to give the light beam a bit of glow.

This is gorgeous! I love the colors of the sky. Thanks for the tutorial on how it is done! This is one of the best cards that I have seen with that stamp! I haven't even inked mine up yet!
