This is another really easy card using stampscapes stamps entirely. I used the tonal applicator some here and definitely don't have the technique down although the stampscapes.com web site has a great tutorial - just takes a lot of practice and patience. For this one stamp "clouds with sun" is stamped first with a light marvy blue. Then the lighthouse stamp was done in a dark navy blue. The pines are from Lakeside Cove and I just stamped the tops of the trees and left off the water and rocks. The flying gees is also stamped in dark blue. A bit of yellow was daubered onto the sun and then I started "tapping" on the colors (lightest blues to darkest) with the Tonal Applicator - which is a dotted type stamp which looks a bit like an alien head or a pear. This one was done on plain white paper although glossy paper also makes for a beautiful piece. You can also spray these to give them more of a sheen and preserve the image better. They're hard to throw away.
