MMTPT187 ~ A View of the Sea

Photo Details

Poster: etsdas

This is for fellow teapotter RJP111, Robin, whose husband recently died as a result of a tragic accident. Read more about this: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...a-t549252.html

Robin enjoys views of the sea, so this lighthouse should fit. No EPEC for me as a yellow Mustang is way beyond my capabilities. I did provide a fleeting view of some wandering seagulls - should have hidden them even more as even that taxes my artistic skills. Oh well, I tried.
I took a quick look at the gallery and I see I am not the only one who was inspired to use the Window die - the teapot kind of reminded me of that. I also used a piece of my carefull hoarded "cloud" dp - wish I could recall where it came from.

I used this sketch (rotated): http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/

The edges are distressed: http://doyoustackup.blogspot.com/

This requires pattern paper: http://delightfulsketches.blogspot.com/

Anything goes: http://willowsketchiechallenge.blogspot.com/

Robin, our prayers are with you. May these peaceful scenes sent with love give you comfort.

Wish I could look out my window sometimes and see a lighthouse but here in Colorado I just don't see that happening! The red and white twine works perfectly with your scene.

Love how nicely your lighthouse is all lit up and shining so bright! Love the red and white bakers twine too, just says nautical! :)

That window die is just awesome, and so is the way you used it. Gorgeous card.

I feel honored that you used a piece of your hoarded paper on a card for me. :-)

I love the image and your coloring is very pretty. Thank you!
