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!)

What a GORGEOUS lighthouse I love it!!! Your border is great and adds a real wavy seaside holiday feel to the card. The sponged colours behind the lighthouse are beautiful, too, and your verse has put a song in my heart.
WD40 is great for getting stuff off acrylic blocks, and I don't think it damages them.

p.s. - with my mod hat on I edited your keywords so that the card will show in all the challenges. You need to use a comma after each keyword and then a space before the next one, or the gallery software won't red them properly ;-).

Terrific, creative and artistic card, Geni. I like the back panel you created with your "homemade" stamp....has a nautical rope feeling which goes SO well with your beautiful lighthouse die cut. The sponged colors are done so well.

Your colors are so beautifully sponged together! Makes for such a pretty lighthouse scene! Pretty cool you made your own background stamp too! Wonderful card for all three challenges!!!
