The color challenge - so saffron, tangerine tango, and marina mist. I only had so saffron so I substituted with tempt. turquoise with some gable green added into it, and cameo coral with a little orange added into it.
The teapotters challenge was to use a light house.
Finally, the technique lovers challenge was to make your own stamp. I made mine with cut pieces of sticky back foam that put on an acrylic block. (I'm going to have fun getting that cleaned off! oops!)

This sounds like a BIG job. I would have been way into the next week even trying it, but it sure was well worth it. Your lighthouse with the flourishes is lovely (if than can be used to describe a lighthouse).

Wow Geni, way to go combining all those challenges!! The sponging is great and the wavy feel in the bg is perfect for that OVER-THE-TOP hand made lighthouse!! Beautiful sentiment too. TFS
