Here's my sample for this week's WTUI challenge, which you will be able to find HERE.
This has already gone postal, as when I gave DH a choice of several cards to send to my favourite BIL in Sydney for his birthday, this is the one he picked. As a one-layer card, it was great for international mailing.
Stamped the image on watercolour paper, masked, and used assorted distress inks to sponge in the background. I added Crackle Accents to the compass rose. Then I reverse-masked the image, and stamped and embossed Timeless Textures in white, then sponged with brown inks. Finished it off by adding some faux brads punched from metallic gold card.

This one really caught my eye, especially the colors on the bg. Those faux brads look great and the compas is the perfect touch. Terrific masculin card.

Love this light house image and your BG for it works perfectly for it. I love how we all can use the same stamp and get such different looking cards. This one is just perfect with the image.

Your lighthouse with the beautiful masked/sponged background. Love your "frame"...it looks so very 3-dimensional with the embossed white and sponged brown texture. Brads are the perfect enchancement to finish off.
