A big congrats to Donna, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a big, beautiful gallery it took me a while to pick just one. I finally chose THIS to case. I kept the lighthouse & most of the layout, but I used die cuts instead of stamps & used a Brushos bg for the inset.
I used a small piece of a Brushos watercolor bg I had in my stash & die cut a white rectangle frame. Then I die cut a large oval & placed the watercolor bg behind it. The Lighthouse was die cut once out of white & once out of royal blue & pieced together. The little windows were colored w/ a couple of yellow Copics. The Summer & lower part of the hello tag were also die cut twice each & stacked. The outer frame was leftover from something else, so I sponged on similar colors & added it behind the white layer.
Congrats again, Donna! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this card is superb. I love all of the details you add to your cards. I especially love the lighthouse and the background you've made.
