This is how I decided to finish off the Chibitronics card I made for my nephew's birthday. I reckoned that it was already quite bulky from the foam tape, and framing it like this will almost make mailing it easier.
I used the Shadowbox Frame Card tutorial, changing up the size to fit my lighthouse piece, which was A2. So the piece I used for the frame was A2 plus 3" on the top and one side, then I followed the scoring pattern in the tutorial, scoring at 1/2" intervals. The cover was cut to fit. I stamped it with stamps from Open Sea and Timeless Textures before cutting the aperture. The anchor is actually cut from silver card, doesn't show very well.

Let's add engineer to the long list of your talents...this is just amazing. I love the idea of a light up lighthouse card. The image and your coloring are gorgeous, and the idea to add a frame was genius. Because of your gorgeous cards using light, I looked up that product...i can't even spell it. Actually figuring out how to use it would surely short circuit my brain.

Either you are an engineer or a master mariner to pull off this gorgeous card that lights up no less. Your nephew is going to be thrilled with this amazing card! I love the dark oval front you used to showcase the lighthouse scene. This is really stunning Sabrina. ~Karen.
