This card is for Mother Mark's Lighthouse Inspriation challenge #60. I have a lighthouse teapot in my collection also, so this was extra fun! I used two different collage stamps but cut out only a small part of each one. The lighthouse I received in a door prize basket. The dolphin was cut out of hologram paper. Both lighthouse and dolphin are on pop dots.The stitching was done on the paper to simulate ocean waves. TFL!

I love that sentiment - it is such a great one for these times! I like your sky, your fish, and the stitching - great job.

Whoo Hoo! Hey guys, we have a new person....Barbara! Hi Barbara...I knew you would catch up to us sooner or later, teapot collector that you are! Giggle!
So glad you could make it...our fishing is about wrapped up, a successful venture I might add, and we are about to sit down for some tea and treats and get acquainted with our new comers.....well, we have one small issue to deal with , that of how we get 42,000 pounds of fish out of the lighthouse but we have some time for tea! Giggle!
Your card is awesome...love how you got so much dimension with the fish in the foreground, the lighthouse and the background and that stitching! To die for! Its truly a loveland card! So glad you came, you fellow teapot collector, you!

Your wavy paper is absolutely perfect, and so is the little dolphin swimming happily in it, and the lighthouse too. I am sure that all the fishermen out there need to do is follow the dolphin and he'll guide them safely back to shore.
