Chibitronic Lighthouse Circlet MTF Card by Jil Lebel

Hello Ai fans!

This card was a bit out of my comfort zone because it was the first time I've ever used Chibitronic lights on a card.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they are very simple to use and the results are stunning.  I used the Lighthouse Circlet MTF to create a 5" x 7" top fold card that lights up when you push where directed. You can't tell from the photo's, but the light is right behind the top of the lighthouse and lights up the sky and the yellow rays coming from the lighthouse. 
The images were stamped onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth paper with Gina K Designs Black Amalgam Ink and colored with Copic markers.  The colors used are listed at the end of this post. The top two  images were cut out using the matching dies that come with the circlet set and a Circle Double Stitched Die.   This was all placed over the 5" x 7" card.  A layer of blue paper and patterned paper from the Recollections Sea Glass 6" x 6"paper collection were attached to the card base before a circle cut out  for the circlet image to be attached.
The inside of the card is two layers.  The main layer has the third layer of the Circlet and the Chibitronic light and circuits.  The directions on how to create the circuits were included with the light kit.  It is surrounded by a triple layer of foam tape. The middle Circlet layer was attached over a circle of patterned paper that was attached to a full layer of patterned paper that was attached to a layer of card stock.  The stamper circle saying PUSH was placed over the battery on the light.  When it is pushed, the light will light up illuminating the entire open area behind the lighthouse.

Copic Colors Used:
Fence - E31, E33, E35, E37
Light - Y000, Y13
Trees / Grass - YG11, YG03, G24
