Hello! I have not seen many lighthouses in person but I enjoy the different shapes and designs. I came across this Just For Fun Stamp when I was looking for a Lighthouse stamp and thought I'd use it for another card with this theme. I won this stamp in 2010...nice to have a post on my blog to remind me of the date. I tried to color in a way to make the bricks appear to be old. Used some pattern paper from Graphic 45 pad, yellow CS for base, some red eyelets from stash. Cannot remember the last time I used eyelets on a card. The GKD Sentiment was heat embossed with red EP on clear vellum and cut with label die. I also used a Spellbinder die for the image.

ReplyDeleteHi Theresa: Lighthouses are a wonderful theme for masculine cards, the images are both serene and strong. I love that beautiful Gingham paper, the colors compliment this awesome Lighthouse perfectly. The red brads on each of the corners finish your card so beautifully.

ReplyDeleteMaybe a trip to Michigan is in order, Theresa. We have plenty of lighthouses here. I can see why you chose this stamp for your card. Thank you for sharing it with us at ATSM.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, your coloring on this lighthouse does make it look vintage. Love the sentiment flag in vellum... so appropriate for this card. And the peek of color within the eyelets is sweet. Thanks so much for sharing with Retro Rubber (again)!
