This is one of my favorite places in the world and I love to make cards using my two stamps of this beautiful lighthouse in York, Maine. This was fun to do as, since I last used this stamp, I have collected other scene stamps which made this card possible. Here are the stamps I used in making this card.
Lady in chair...SU Sketches
Two Girls....SU Seaside Sketches
Clouds...Stamp in the Hand
Rock Formation....The Artist Stamps
Other Rock Formation...Art Impressions
Sentiment....A Muse Artstamps
Nubble Light stamp....Repeat Impressions
This was actually a pretty easy card as the maskings were large and the idea was in my head already while I was collecting the stamps.
I colored with pastels and blender pen.

OMGosh! This is sooo my favorite place too! I grew up not far from this lighthouse!! It's a gorgeous card!! Where did you get the Nubble stamp??? Love it!
Oh, Joanne--not enough superlatives to do this justice--had to just stare at all the elements and how well everything is put together to create such a fantastic scene! The proportions are just perfect (not always easy to find with mixed stamps) and you made some great selections! The coloring finished it off beautifully! Sure would be nice to spend a few days at that spot!

Well I see us J girls had the same thought processes working. My idea was in my head too and made my card come together quickly. This is a beautiful scene and I wish I could place myself in your summery card too.
