This card workshop will be available in September at any of my events. I love the ocean and am calmed by the sound of the waves coming to shore. The Seaside Greetings stamp set brings that memory alive with this pastoral lighthouse scene. Paired with a verse available in Look To The Light, this card conveys a strong sense of empathy to its recipient.
I stamped the images with Chocolate and Sky (retired - for clouds) ink pads. To keep the colors in the soft, muted palette of the Seaside paper collection I used Watercolor Pencils along with the Blending Pen to add a touch of Crystal Blue and Chocolate to the seascape. Using the Edge Distresser, I roughed up the edge of the top piece before layering it with coordinated cardstock. A single Bitty Sparkle 'lights up' on the lighthouse and four 4mm Sparkles accent the front of the card.
A third set, Big Hug, is used for the inside sentiment. Along the bottom is a piece of one of the Seaside paper's Zip Strip. All of the CTMH patterned papers have an extra 1/2 inch strip that is coordinated with the theme and when removed makes a great embellishment for cards and scrapbook pages.
