My husband needed a card to send, so I thought I'd use Taylor's great card FS32 Chocolate Postale by stagccva at Splitcoaststampers as my launch point and today's color challenge colors again. The bg is Cherry Cobbler stamped with Very Vanilla Script bg and a compass with the edges inked by dragging my ink pad across the edges. I had my lighthouse already watercolored with crayons, so I sponged some more Baja on, and intensified the color of the house with a Cajun Craze marker and added some red to the sky by scribbling a Cherry Cobbler marker on a piece of acetate and using a wet brush. I tore the edges and framed it with a torn and distressed Cajun Craze piece. I used some burlap string pulled from a burlap bag and adhered my sentiment below the knot.

This is just beautiful! Making a masculine card is such a challenge. You've done a great job with this.
