He is a water and boat lover so Edwin with Binoculars and the Sea Background seemed like perfect images for him.
I really enjoy doing the easel cards. They just seem to have so much more space to work with.
I think all the designer papers are Stampin' Up.
The star brads and brads around the image frame are from my stash. I actually colored this a long time ago, then went back and added more ink after finishing the Copic 2 class on coloring water. I put Star Dust Stickles on the tops of the waves.
What a difference it made : D
Here is the card open with Edwin standing up and the pelican wishing he would just go away!
The pelican is colored with Copics C0, 1, 3, 5.
I also had colored Edwin earlier and went back and added more dark to his pants. I put 2 small brads on his pants for the buttons. I don't remember what Copics I used, but the blues are most likely B99, 97, 93, and 91.
Thanks for stopping by and taking in the really cool sea breeze.

Wow this card is GORGEOUS!!!! Wow love the colors and the design!!!!! Great job!!!!!
Kathy, I simply adore your card.. I have a grandson who's daddy just retired from the Navy (also his daddy and my dad) and his birthday is in two weeks so I think I want to use this card to make his card from.. I love everything about your card and have all the makings and have really never used it.. My son was in Afghan at the time the set came out and didn't want to remind my grandsons, so now it will be fun for them... So consider this as my loving your card and I will post my card on my blog.. Thank you for making it so beautiful...
Hugs, Jean
