Lighthouse Card

Hello!  Hope you are having a good weekend. It has gotten on the slightly hot side for us, hard to get used to after all the Spring Sweater-Weather we had previously. For the card I am sharing today, I was thinking slightly ahead to Father’s Day, although lighthouses are well loved by all people, I think.  


I colored this stamp with alcohol markers.  For the sky, I used pointillism to add interest.  I die cut out the panel and arranged it over some nautical patterned papers.  I thought the sentiment panel would stand out nicely if I put it at the top on an angle.

Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber Stamps  Striped Lighthouse ,  Calm Seas sentiment, Memento black ink, Hero Arts Navy ink, Carta Bella Ahoy There 6x6 Paper pad, Gina Marie X Stitched rectangle dies.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Hope to see you again soon. In the meanwhile, hope you have time for stamping!

Wow, Heidi you really did a beautiful job with this stamp. Your colouring and pointillism is just perfect. I'm a fan of nautical cards, mainly because my wedding reception was nautical themed from living out on the east coast of Canada for 19 years, and left my heart out there. This card brings back a lot of memories for me. :)

Terrific Father's day card, always feels good to be ahead of time with the cards. I so love how you did the sky, I haven't tried that kind of coloring yet, would love to see a video on it :) Love the papers you found to use with it!

This is a great masculine card! Love the background texture you added with the dots; time consuming, but awesome results! Great nautical papers as well!
