For the teapotters challenge, this card is going out to Lonnell who loves lighthouses and boating!
Alpha challenge is the letter "V", and this surely has a beautiful "View".
And the TLC challenge to have a cloudy bg, which this one does but I used Copics to color and highlight the image!
I printed the image in light grey and then colored it with Copics. Used grays and blues for the sky with the touch of yellow ink for the light shinning out. Added 4 shades of blue to the ocean and then colored the rocks with browns and grays.
The trees were easier using 3 shades of greens, lighter to the bg. Kept the lighthouse mostly white but added soft grey to the top and sides so it would stand out against the stormy sky. TFL!!

Wow! What a gorgeous lighthouse image. It looks like a Kincade. I must dig out my Kincade stamps and ink them up in soft grey. I love, love love how you coloured this.
