Happy Monday - I hope your week is off to a great start!
Today I would like to share the card I made for a weekend challenge ~ Using a Lighthouse.
Here's my completed card, then a bit about how I made it.
I have a large 12" x 12" x 3" container of nothing but Summer/Beach stamps. Many I've had for years and have been separated from their manufacturing information. This lighthouse happens to be one of those - just a single, clear stamp in my box. I stamped it on a A2 sized card front cut from Neenah 110# card stock. I used my Copic markers for coloring and then used the Memory Box Matinee Rectangle Layers die for the image and the coordinating background. I returned the image to my Misti and stamped the sentiment He Is My Rock, from Reverse Confetti.
Inspired by a card this week from one of my Design Team friends, Laura Mooney, I started going through my stash of stencils. I selected the Crafters Workshops 6" x 6" Hallelujah stencil and positioned it so that the sun was rising just above the right side of the cottage. I used Distressed Oxide Salty Ocean and a brush and lightly brushed on the stenciled design. Then I used Copics Y28, Y15, and Y13 to make the sunshine and the rays. If I had thought this through a little better, I should have done the stenciling work, then added the sentiment. I had to add a washi tape strip to finish off the stencil work and ground the image.
I completed the card by mounting the matting and the completed image on an A2 sized white card base.
