Hello! It is such a Beautiful Day!! The sun is shinning and it's warm but not hot and there is a little bit of a breeze.

Today I have a lighthouse card to share with you using images from
Heartfelt Creations. For the front of the card I used
Lighthouse Shore 542G and
Grace & Freedom 533D stamps from
Heartfelt Creations.

I stamped the images onto
Pure Luxury Pure White cardstock from Gina K. using brown ink and then colored with
Copic markers. The
lighthouse image was stamped onto a 4 x 4 piece of cardstock.

These are the
Copic markers I used to color the
Lighthouse Shore 542G image.

These are the
Copic markers I used to color the
Grace & Freedom 533D seagull image. After I had the coloring done then I cut the image out.

To create the background I used the
Sea Scape Impressabilities™ I2-1016 from
Spellbinders™ and Chestnut Roan, Bisque, Blush Rose, Surf Chalk Inks from
ClearSnap to do a letterpress technique. To do the letterpress technique with the Impressabilities™ you simply apply ink directly to the Impressability™, add cardstock on top and run through the
Wizard™ with the tan embossing mat. The pressure from the
Wizard™ presses the ink into the cardstock creating the letterpress effect.

Next I applied Antique Linen ink over the entire piece and then I inked the edges with Vintage Photo ink.

Once all of the pieces were done I started to assemble the card. I used a chocolate brown mat for each of the seashell letterpress panels and also behind the lighthouse image and I used a piece of ivory cardstock for the background. I used
Crafty Power Tape from
SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES™ By 3L to adhere my card.

I also added a couple of flourish diecuts to the sides of the lighthouse image. The diecuts were made using
Doodle Parts S4-121 die templates from
Spellbinders™ and I also added the seagull.

I used
3D Foam Squares from
SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES™ By 3L on the flourishes and seagull to add a little dimension.

Here is a close-up of the seagull.

Here is the inside of the card with the sentiment,
God of the Seagull 1210D and I stamped the image of the seagull,
Grace & Freedom 533D with a lighter brown ink in the background.
