I started with a piece of white card cut to fit a 6" square card and sprinkled the Brusho powder from the bottom right hand corner up towards the middle of the card, spritzed it with some water and then dabbed away where it pooled around the edges and left it to dry. I then stamped the silhouette pelican using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and took my white Posca pen and gradually covered the black image with the white making it thick enough to cover nicely. I then went round the outline with a pencil instead of a black Micron pen just to define it as I thought the black might be a bit heavy. I then added the orange alcohol marker over the bill and the feet. I finished by splattering the white Posca over the sea area, and inevitably it did go a bit further than I intended but it gives the impression of spume off the water, and I also quite lightly added a little on the waves too..I decided less is more and I did cover the pelican and the very bottom corner before I did it. I then added the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

Some clever work with the Brusho and also with the silhouette pelican to make it white. Will check out Deb's video, not watched any of hers recently - it is so easy to spend longer watching other people craft than crafting myself so I've been 'rationing' my viewing 🤣🤣
Great video, I love using my posca's for colouring over backgrounds this is even better. I think I prefer your sea green to the blue on the video. Great card ♥
Nicely done with the Brusho's Pat, great effect for the Pelican rising from the water, many thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges, always lovely to have you join us.

Beautiful card Pat, the Brusho makes a great background and a very clever way of making the pelican white.

The brusho sea looks fabulous Pat and the posca pen on the pelican has given such a lovely texture, awesome card, I love it. Will check out the video too, Cathy x
Everything about this card is perfect, Pat. I loved reading your post and learning about the details that made this card come to life. Fabulous direction to go with our colors and I love the texture of the Pelican. Thanks for playing at Color Hues.
GREAT card! Because of the lovely background the Pelican seems to go up in a spray of water, just like in real life! So cleverly done, Pat! Thanks for the link!
Wonderful card, l love the design. Thanks for joining Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping. Anesha
WOW! Gorgeous card Pat! Love that waves and splashes of water with your beautifully coloured pelican. Awesome design! xx
You really captured the movement of the pelican coming off the water with this brilliant design, Pat! I love how you colored it and how you created the ocean spray! Thank you for linking to both NBUS and I.D.E.A.S. this week! Hugs, Darnell
Fantastic card and background for the pelican. One of my most used brusho colours is sea green. Thank you for joining us at We Love Stamping this month. Emma
