Hi! This is a double challenge card. First it is for today`s sketch challenge brought to us by Roxie based on a card by Sparklegirl, who is amazing I might add! Read about it here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I tried to get an oval sentiment on the card but I don`t have any printer ink (ran out awhile ago and I need to replace it!) because I thought of using a computer generated sentiment. So had to go to Plan B and I used a sailboat charm in place of the oval. Boy...the challenge police may be after me this week! I sketched my image and used Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol to color. I used Core`dinations CS for my panel and on the inside of my card and envelope. I sanded and distressed and added twine and the charm. Added a few silver pearls and was done. The second challenge is for Teapot Tuesday. Barbarar20 is our gracious hostess this week. Thanks for filling in! Great story line this week! Read all about it here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am heading over to the lighthouse with a sailboat to help Seth with whatever he needs! Thanks for looking and have a fabulous Wednesday! If you see the time I am posting...yes it is a sleepless night. LOL So may as well stamp!

Hey Judi, another sleepless night for me too. I'm not sure anything I stamp when suffering from insomnia ever looks this great. I'm very drawn to your gorgeous soft scene, especially the sky. Beautiful card.

WOW Judi... you're lighthouse sketch is a masterpiece. Your sky is colored so very realistically, and the softness of the foliage on the beach give it a misty morning look. I would have this framed. It's beautiful.
