This is for the Divine Design Challenge for April. Barely made it in time! I used a SU! stamp set and one of my favorite Bible verses. I know this verse by heart by singing it with the kids at church every week when I was an AWANA leader. To make my card, I started with using Bordering Blue for my card base. It's one of the colors that will be retiring, so I understand. I thought I'd give it a try. Next I used a lighthouse image that I had previously prepared. I have several ready to go, which is nice.
I've been trying to use supplies that I've had for a long time and then decide to keep or pass on. The lighthouse was embossed with an older & retired eggplant colored powder from SU! It is really a dark purple. I masked an area for the verse before using the Weathered background stamp on the card base. Then I laid down a strip of Magic Mesh. It's really fun to use.
The idea for highlighting some of the words in the verse came from this card: Baja lighthouse, SUO by Kathy Anthony at Splitcoaststampers
I like that idea and may try it again sometime soon. TFL

I like this stamp and the wonderful verse - my mother has it and I've borrowed hers several times - what a great idea to highlight words, makes me want to try it! Like your "weathered" look too!
