This is a card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge to feature a lighthouse. I used an old CHF lighthouse stamp and found an even older piece of Thomas Kinkade patterned paper, that is called 'Stormy Seas'. I stamped and coloured the lighthouse image and fussy cut it. Then I cut a slit into the dp, so that the lighthouse and rocks would fit into it where the waves were foaming. I added white gel pen to accent the waves and also added frosty stickles and some tiny clear beads to make the foam sparkle. I drew a horizon line (very faint) with a copic marker, to make the sky look even stormier. the right side of the paper was embossed and a sailboat ribbon attached as well as the ODBD sentiment that was die cut and two little stars added. When I took the photo, the sun was shining into my window and I think it made a lovely light across the card, so I left it at that.

That stormy sea paper is such a great setting for your beautiful lighthouse, Ina, and you positioned the lighthouse into it so neatly. The comforting sentiment goes well with the stormy setting. And even the sunshine cooperated, that's special.

Ina, your recreation of the foamy waves is incredible.....TFS how you did it. A beautiful masculine card, but would be welcomed by anyone. Love how you did the lighthouse using the fabulous DP.
