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.

Father’s Day Lighthouse

Posted on April 18, 2016 10:46 PM by Julie Comment

It’s week 3 of my Guest Designer spot on the Splitcoast Color Challenge. The colors this week are gray, lagoon & honey w/ the dessert being a masculine card. So I thought it would be a good time to make a Father’s Day card.

I love the look of Prismacolor pencils on toned card stock..usually I’ll pick kraft but since one of the colors is gray, I used it instead. After putting the lighthouse in my Misti, I stamped it w/ Memento, colored w/ Prismas, then overstamped w/ Versafine. Actually, no black pencils were used on the lighthouse..just very dark grays, lt grays & white. I finished off the scene by adding the water & seagulls then added a white mat on top. The greeting had to be split to fit the vertical pennant.

Here’s a look at the inside. Since my dad lives a handful of states away, I thought this greeting was perfect. But since he was in the Air Force, I hope he doesn’t think I moved him to the Navy.

The colors of Prismas I used are:
PC938 White, PC1077 Colorless Blender, PC917 Sunburst Yellow, PC1060 Cool Gray 20%, PC1061 Cool Gray 30%, PC1063 Cool Gray 50%, PC1067 Cool Gray 90%, PC1088 Muted Turquoise, PC1022 Mediterranean Blue, PC1027 Peacock

Nautical Vignette

Posted on February 17, 2012 9:52 PM by Julie 5 Comments

I loved today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC324) site and I was so happy to make a sample for Stef! I chose This for my inspiration. Instead of the beautiful colors they used, I just went w/ a more distressed look but I really loved the triple vignette layout.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the lighthouse twice and selected different areas of it and also the mighty sea scene. I used circle dies to cut them out and for the maroon frame, I used two sizes of circle dies to cut out the “porthole” frames.

I stamped portions of the hymn on the crackled looking dp and distressed the edges w/ a tool and also w/ the tea dye ink. The netting was added on the left and the finished card fits in a #10 business envelope.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD- The Mighty Sea, All is Well Hymn, Keep My Lamp Burning

Paper: vanilla fiber, dp (very old paper pad from ProvoCraft)

Ink: Ancient Page cobalt, Distress Ink tea dye

Accessories: Spellbinders circles dies, Tombow markers, netting ribbon, distressing tool
