Red, White, Blue and "Thinking of You"...as I'm dreaming of a sandy beach, waves crashing on the rocks, the warm sunshine on my face, and a fruity drink. Oh! And lighthouses too! I just love them. Don't you? Which one is your favorite? They remind me of family vacations and you can feel all that history when you're standing in front of them. Which say all American to me and I love sharing that history with my kids. So I wanted this card to be red, white, and blue in all it's patriotic glory. And this Eat Cake Graphics lighthouse stamp goes perfect with this Graphic 45 nautical paper collection. Don't you think?
I stamped the image on watercolor paper with black ink, colored it in with Copic markers and Atyou Spica glitter pens, and cut it out. I layered it on a G45 die cut sentiment frame and adhered them together. They look like one piece, don't you think? Next I punched out this wavy border from G45 pattern paper and gave it some sparkle. It wouldn’t be one of my creations if it didn’t have some bling of glitter glue on the waves, the windows, and the light. And I finished it with a big patriotic ribbon, a sentiment banner, and some black gems. Another great masculine card or for any occasion.
I hope you're having a great summer. Until next time...Kim
