This card is for the "Hope You Can Cling To" challenge Shine On - something that uses light to convey hope and encouragement with a touch of pink. I thought a lighthouse would cover both those things. I used strips of cardstock in pink & green for cancer awareness. A square punch was used to cut the ends to make banners. The top layer is popped up. Even though it has pink, it could be a masculine card. TFL

I really like that you left the stamps uncoloured. The blue stamping makes the images look really timeless to me! I also love the embossed lines down the side. The splash of colour from the banners draws the eye to your image and sentiment both. Looks great!

I really like how the colorful banners stand out against the monochromatic image. Wonderful card!

Gorgeous CAS lighthouse card. Neat design technique to stamp the images in blue and leave them otherwise uncolored. I avoid my lighthouse images because they are not the easiest thing in the world to color realistically - you've solved my dilemma! Love the bright pastel mini banners that you've added, they bring to mind the signal flags that they use in the boating world. Lots of good ideas here and I'm popping it into my favorites! Thanks for sharing.
