This week's Teaparty is for Henry, a Very Special Guy! Henry has been one busy and active fellow all his life, and has a lot of interests to choose from for a Teaprty card theme. Since one of his interests is visiting Block Island, RI, and since I found out there are two great lighthouses located there, I thought he might like a card with a lighthouse on it!
Stamped the lighthouse onto the sketch paper with the Obsidian ink, and colored it. Added the greeting with Versamark and heat embossed with the Rich Red EP. Added photo corners for extra cookies!
I think this looks a bit like an old postcard. I hope Henry will enjoy it! TFL!

Liz, your coloring is gorgeous and that scene paints such an idyllic picture. I think anyone who loves the ocean would love to see a beautiful lighthouse like this along the shore. Love the decorative corners and all the dp layers. I think it looks like an old postcard too. I bet Henry would agree with us. He's sure to feel like he's in his happy place when he see this gem. Fabulous card.

Really love this light house. Every time I see light houses I think of my grandma and miss her. She is buried by one in Michigan and I know she would love that I think of her when I see them. Super layout and layers on this wonderful card for Henry.
