To make my summer lighthouse card, I used a small piece of a Brushos watercolor background I had in my stash. After die cutting the white rectangle, I also 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. I used the clouds from the Hot Air Balloon Reverse die & also a larger cloud on top of the Hello. I had the die cut frame leftover from something else, so I sponged on similar colors & added it behind the white layer.
Here’s a look at the inside. I left it blank for now, until I decide who it’s going to.

Absolutely elegant and so well thought-out! Having that watercolor background “in your stash” is a lesson to us all to create for the stash as well as for cards.
Julie this is beautiful. I love lighthouses and this one in blue is very creative. This die will go on my ‘must have’ list!!

This is gorgeous Julie and the colours are really beautiful, so Summery and fresh, and the two tones of blue on the lighthouse go perfectly. x
