I'm availing of Cindy's sneak preview for the teaparty tomorrow, as seen on HER BLOG last week. It's also the moon, from her current challenge on the CCEE Challenges.
I don't have one single lighthouse stamp.
This template came from Circle of Crafters.
Plan A was to put the scripture verse *Your Word is a lamp unto my feet* on it.
DH says plan A, while not criminal, would be a shame. A big shame. And he wants to send this card to a friend, so plan A bit the dust. To be honest, I don't know where I'd have put it, except to cover the ground under the lighthouse, which I am not very happy with.
A2 dark navy base. The main panel was white card, cut out the lighthouse, masked the sun and sponged the background - Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Faded Jeans and Weathered Wood. Masked the background and sponged the moon - Antique Linen. Did the iris folding with foil papers. Edged the panel with gold, and added lightbeams coming from the lighthouse.
Where I grew up, if I climbed to the top of the big pine tree outside my window, I could see at least 3 lighthouses. And my brother had the coolest lighthouse bedside locker that my dad made. The bottom was big enough to be a dolls house for us to play with, two floors, with a door that hinged out. Then there was a smaller level with two more floors, again with a door. Then there was a little cage at the top with the light in it. I can't believe my brother let it go the first time they moved house! FOr dolls house, please read teddy bears - for both my brother and me .

What a beautiful scene you've created! The foil folding is superb and with your lighthouse and the full moon, there's no chance of getting lost at sea. Love the story about the bedside lighthouse locker, too. TFS
