Where are you spending the summer? Wouldn't a trip to a lighthouse and the ocean be a fun time? I pulled out this Art Impression stamp to create this card for several challenges. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics and sponged the sky with Memento Summer Sky ink. The sky was embossed with Darice EF Clouds before sponging. I backed the image with Graphic 45 Gingham pattern from By the Sea pad. Attached this to a Blue Card Base. Added some star brads from my stash and a sentiment from GKD Gifts of the Sea set.
