Lighthouses are so interesting to me. I was able to travel this summer to see a couple of lighthouses fairly close to me. I enjoyed my trip with a couple of girlfriends. It was a fast trip but a nice way to relax and enjoy each other.
I have this card on a Night of Navy card base and the wood grain is embossed on 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Night of Navy. I used the largest oval from the Layering Oval dies to cut out a Whisper White and a Pool Party ovals. I used Night of Navy, Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Old Olive and So Saffron to stamp the main image.
I have another sponged background for you. I have really enjoyed making these lately! I hope you are enjoying seeing them! I sponged Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy inks on Whisper White. I stamped the lighthouse, birds, sand, grasses, and words with Night of Navy over the sponged background. My card base is Pool Party. To have the scene continue, I stamped the sand, grass and birds with Pool Party.
This is one of my favorite cards that I have made recently. I used my Layering Circle dies to cut a circle from a piece of scratch paper. I used this paper with the circle cut out of it as my masking template. I laid the paper over my cardstock and stamped the water and the sun. While the mask was still in place, I sponged the So Saffron around the sun and Pool Party over the waves. I removed the mask and stamped the birds and words.
With Lake Michigan almost in my backyard, these cards keep me grounded at home. The sun rises are so pretty, when I'm up to enjoy them!
Happy Stampin'!
