Mixed Media Lighthouse painting

I'm really excited about this project. I've had the idea for awhile and finally had time to make it.  I was trying to figure out the best way to do the project and showcase the lighthouse dimensional sticker I got of the light house.  I used 3 different embossing folders for the background.  The sun rays and waves are embossing folders from Sizzix from the Tim Holtz alterations collection and the dots to represent the sand is an embossing folder from cuttlebug.  After I adhered the embossed papers to the canvas I watercolor the paper. I embossed it all in white so I could add the water color just right.After the water coloring was done I put the very cool light house sticker on the and also the bird stickers that came with the set. I also used a soft gel (Gloss) from Golden Artist colors to protect the water colors from smearing and to just give it a more finished look.
