I really love playing in the inspiration challenge! Today's inspiration site was The Wallpaper Collective which had all sorts of fabulous designs to choose from. When I saw this paper in neutrals http://www.wallpapercollective.com/s...ar-rose-1.html I immediately thought of a card by Mrs Noofy WT347 Tres Chic by Mrs Noofy at Splitcoaststampers that I'd put into my favorites in a similar color scheme with a technique that I wanted to try.
I stamped my lighthouse image in Basic Black on Crumb Cake then used my colored pencils to add the black and white highlights. I distressed or tore all my edges, added a bg in dictionary page featuring the lighthouse definition, added my verse and small hemp accents and called it done. I love this look and hope to try some other images with the same technique.

What a wonderful sentiment to match your lighthouse. Your card is interesting and gorgeous as the same time. The colors are wonderful together; and the torn edges add a great masculine touch.

Cape Hatteras is one of my favvvorite places in the world. I spent vacations there most summers all of my life. Thanks for a great memory. Your card is lovely.
