I made this card for the teapotters challenge it was asked to put a light house on the card I love light houses I agree they are peaceful and give a kind of security, I've chosen for this stamp I colored it with watercolor pencils and distressed the borders I added flat pearls and twine and a little dolphin charm I rounded 2 corners with the corner punch
I hope the person who will receive this card will like it.I loved to make it.

I love the linen paper that you use, it adds great texture. Your soft colours are lovely, and the dolphin charm is a sweet addition. While we have a lot of lighthouses here, being an island country, I think at this stage I've seen a good number of French ones, too.

I always said when younger would love to live in a light house. Your background and layers are pretty for your image. Love the dolphin and gems also. Sweet card.

Beautifully done Snietje! That is a lovely lighthouse and I love the way you sponged the edges of the die cuts. Sand and blue are perfect seaside colours. I love the use of the twine .....it gives a nautical look. Love the dolphin charm too.
