Stamp lighthouse in Bermuda Bay ink in bottom right corner.
Change to Basic Black or Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamp sentiment in top left corner.
Use fine tip journaling marker and 12"ruler (clear acrylic ruler makes it easier) and draw a "box" with 3 segmented lines as shown around sentiment in top left corner.using clear ruler makes visibility much easier. I used black ink to make lines stand out but after all stamping and lines were completed, I sponged over each line with Bermuda Bay ink to soften the black lines.
Use painter's tape or a strip of washi tape to mask off the areas already stamped then go back and stamp:
1) a flock of flying birds in top right corner above lighthouse
2) wading birds and sand in bottom left corner
3)ocean waves in center left section.
You will need to move painters tape for each section as you stamp.
4) Remove all masking tape then go back and draw fine tip black lines with journaling pens and ruler then sponge heavily over all lines. Follow the black lines to sponge then add very light sponging over the stamped areas.
Use Bermuda Bay to stamp inside of card as desired with wading birds on the beach and scattered birds along the top, stamp High tide/low tide sentiment in middle of card.
