a•muse | studio June Sneak Peak Day 3

Welcome to Sneak Peaks Day 3!!  Today's card features the new "hey gull friend" stamp and matching die sets!  I see a lot of seagulls around Seattle and at our beaches.  Before coloring these two with Copic markers, I spent a lot of time Googling real life ones.  I wanted to get the coloring just right.  And of course, there are more than just one species of them.  So, here's my best at a Western Gull, complete with red/orange beak dots.

For the sunset on this card, I used sponge daubers and just blended papaya and poppy inks until it looked just right.  I couldn't help myself and added the silhouettes of flying gulls in the distance from the "you are my sunshine" set from A Muse's May release!  It just worked to perfectly!
