I like the photo Anita shared on the challenge thread - I've seen several of the lighthouses along the Brittany coastline (and along the west coast of France), but not that one.
Although I have several very nice lighthouse stamps, I decided it was time to colour this one in. I gave the stamp to someone some years back, and when she sent me a card made with it, she included a couple of stamped images for me. I matted it on red, added a couple of photo corners, and for Anita's bonus and an old-fashioned classroom look, I used a number stencil and white pigment ink.
Funny coincidence, Microsoft popped two lighthouses onto my desktop lock screen over the last week - Split Rock and Duluth North Pier.

I'm glad you've used this image to color, so pretty and colorful!! I saw many lighthouses but I wouldn't be able to tell you where this one belongs..., I love the number stencil in the bg, for the moment I think we're only 2 who've used numbers on their cards, I love the brown corners and I don't know why but they made me think about lego...

This is so pretty with its checkerboard design and I love all the houses and bldgs in the bg. How funny that your computer showed those 2 lighthouses...both of course in Minnesota and I've seen both. Split Rock is amazing any time of year but particularly in the fall. It's a favorite spot!

I love this scene, Sabrina! Great RED framing, and the bg with all the numbers is wonderful. Debbie will be so impressed!!!
