This is my favorite stamp for a quick masculine card, it's almost photo quality, and works up with almost no work! It also works for the HOME challenge today, as my husband and I love the ocean, honeymooned by Pemaquid Point in Maine and have had the influence of lighthouses in our home - boats, the ocean, etc. We have a gorgeous picture of a lighthouse on our living room wall.....that I just LOVE. So this is representative of home to me. Having lived most of our lives near the shore, we find ourselves in OHIO, LOL, no shore. Anyway - it's late, so a quick card for the challenge here and I am off to bed!! Hope you like it!!

Awww....I've been to Pemaquid and loved it there. I love this card and the striking contrast between the black and yellow. Love the lattice folder and the striped ribbon. It gives so much texture to this beauty!!!!

Your card is beautiful. . . and the color combination really sets off the the intricate image. I like the background embossing, so subtle.

You made this beautiful card in 15 minutes? Unbelievable! This is a beautifully balanced card. Love the embossing and the sun rising on the great lighthouse scene.

Well, my DH would take one look at this and decide that with all that ribbon it's not masculine - but what does he know . Sponging in the sun is great.
