Made for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. This is one of two cards made with lighthouses. I really wanted to use my new http://designsbyryn.com/ raindrop stamp so I created a polished stone background with alcohol inks. I stamped the raindrops in Memento Paris Dusk ink. The lighthouse is stamped on white cs and coloured the image with a mixture of copics and pencil crayons

Ha - I think you'll just have to toss a coin to decide which to send! The background on this is amazing with the raindrops stamped on the Polished Stone, and I adore the little seahorse. It's a lovely summery feel to the image too. Marginally I'd probably prefer to receive the other one, but it's a close call.

WOW..that polished stone technique is great and I love it with the raindrops! Great lighthouse scene and the accents of seahorse and the knotted cord are perfect!

What a beautiful lighthouse scene! I was so intrigued by those water droplets that I ordered the stamp! Thanks for sharing how you stamped them to look so real! Love the addition of the charm.

My gosh, so much to like on this card. The blue polished stone is wonderful, love the silver cording and knotting, and the image is just beautiful. Also, that's one cool charm here.
