Yeah, Tickle a Teapotter time---a happy time! Use to tell hubby and friends that I would love to live in one. On dark blue card base adhered white that I masked off center and sponged different blues around outside. Then took outside part of mask of cut out and lay down, sponged difffernt blues but darker in center of oval, stamped the water stamp I got at convention, and the lighthouse. Colored in some purple in water, watercolored part of the lighthouse, trees, and ground, added punched out stars---oh, my am I bad----snowflakes ---as stars, as I do not have any star punches or edger---on my list though. Put some stickles here and there. The verse I wrote out ahead of doing card---tried to give space for all sides and printed out and added all the rest on and around it. Used my die in 2 sizes and sponged around the center oval for dimension. Added ribbon and done.

That's a verse I don't have as a stamp yet - some time I will! The colours on your sea are lovely, so peaceful - and the twinkling stars remind me of being up in my tree at nightwhen I was in my teens watching the lighthouses up and down the coast ;-). What a great card for the challenge.
As for actually living in one - all those stairs?? My dream, some time, is to stay in one that's been converted as a holiday home. Who knows - maybe it will happen one day.

Very cool looking stamp - love the verse - I used the same one on my card. This is peaceful and relaxing! Wish I was there instead of here in the snow!
