This week's inspiration site is a beach house Pinterest Board. I chose this picture for its colors and the lantern on the ottoman made me think of a lighthouse.....an element seen on many coasts in the USA. I chose to depict the one at Cape Hatteras with its spiraling wide black stripe. I used worn sandpaper to depict the sand.

Awesome card, Sallie - Loved when I got to visit this one - after they moved it in from the threat of the encroaching shoreline! Love the shading, the sand and the wisps of "beach grass" - wish I was THERE!!

I love pictures of lighthouses. Sallie, this is so pretty with the torn paper for the sand. Makes me wish I were there.

Beautiful scene, Sallie! Love the shading on the lighthouse and the use of sandpaper for sand, something I would never think to do! The dimension you added with your framing is fabulous!
