Lovely sketch today, Roxie! I need some masculine cards so I pulled out this new to me set from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps called Shining Light.
Lighthouse is stamped in timber brown stazon and colored with chalks, then sponged with distress inks. I cut out the top and tore the bottom. I distressed the dp's from the DCWV Tradewinds stack as well. Sentiment is overstamped with the compass from The Open Sea set.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beautiful papers, love the image (I am very partial to lighthouses)- love the distressing and twine. Just love the whole thing.

Wonderful card with so many great details. I love the colors you choose, and the softness of the chalks. The brown paper is so beautiful, and I love the overstamping. You really did a great job on this card. tfs
