My DH needed a Father's Day card to send to his dad, so I made this one today. I used the Stampin'B challenge to make a seashore card and this week's Flourishes FTTC70 challenge to use black and white with a third color of choice. My third color is kraft. To give my card more of a sandy beach kind of feel, I made my kraft-ish triangular panel from a piece of sandpaper.

Emzi, what a wonderful idea to use the sandpaper. Beautiful lighthouse and how nice for you to make a card for your Dad to give his Dad.
This image is great for the seashore challenge.

Emily, I LOVE how you used sandpaper as your textured paper! I could tell from the photo, before reading the text, that there was some cool texture there. I like the three colors together; looks very masculine.
