I made this card for my dear husbands birthday, which is tomorrow - March 3rd. We love being out on the water and viewing lighthouses. This lighthouse is from Stampin' Up - from 2002. It is one of my oldest stamp sets. I stamped the image with memento black and water coloured most of it and used copic markers for the grey shading on the house and lighthouse.
I tore the background paper into strips to get the white section showing at the tops to make it look like waves. I matted the lighthouse image with navy. Sewed around the edges. Added the photo corners and mini brads. I made the sentiment into a banner and sewed it to the image panel. Popped up the image panel and attached the anchor brad. Finished the inside.
SC843 - sketch
WT830 - brads
WT831 - what is old is new
WT832 - photo corners
F4A575 - get your happy on - well being out on the water makes me happy or just being near the ocean.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat

Your torn waves are a perfect ocean for the lighthouse. These are still some of my favorite stamps. Great coloring on the light and the stitched edge is great. My favorite though is the fussy cut bird on the sentiment. Great detail.
