    For my card, I stamped and water colored both of the images  ( Light of Life and Sweet Friendship) and used my out of the box Nestie technique to die cut it using a Spellbinders labels 18.  I added an extra cut out lantern on top of the base image for a little dimension.  On the frame, I cut the inside out and attached the quote  (from Spread Light) behind it.

    The top background was done with a Cuttlebug distressed stripe embossing folder. I inked the top side of the folder using the Memento inks before I ran it through the Grand Calibur.  On the bottom, I stamped the Honeycomb Background on the dk brown c/s w/ the cocoa ink. It reminded me of chicken wire and I thought that would fit in w/ my rustic looking card. Two screw head brads complete the 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    Isn’t this a wonderful seascape? When I first saw it, I knew right away I wanted to water color it and pair is somehow w/ this lovely lighthouse image I have. I stamped the Mighty Sea onto water color paper, masked the right side and stamped a partial right side of it again. It still wasn’t quite long enough for my 6.25 x 4.50 (A6) card size, so I used some black and gray drawing pens to extend the scene on the right side by about another inch. It was painted using Peerless water colors and a couple of water brushes. The lighthouse image was done the same way on a separate piece of w/c paper and I trimmed it to fit. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and spray from the surf to the rocks.

    For the window segments, I die cut 4 windows out of the same water color paper. I used w/c paper since it’s a little heavier than c/s and the open windows would need all the support they could get. I also die cut 2 pieces of cardboard for the windows. The cardboard was used to sandwich in between the other two layers to give a little more stability. Since I knew I wanted to make a trifold card, I determined that with the windows on either end, I could make my card base out of a regular piece of 8.50 wide piece of c/s. I cut the height  to 4.50 then scored in 1.25 from each end along the 8.50 width. The top pair of windows were attached to their matching pieces of cardboard. On the right I attached this on top of the lighthouse then attached one of the two single windows on the back side. Since the lighthouse is a pretty symmetrical image, I stamped, colored and cut out a second image and attached it on top of the inside window.

    On the left, I trimmed off a little of the hinge before I added a punched fence between the window layers. I left a little tab of fence because it helps to keep the trifold card closed when it’s tucked behind the right side window. The sentiment was trimmed and added on top of the window frame.

    Now I’ll send you on your way to the next stop…the Fabulous Dawn Lusk! I know she’ll have something amazing to share!

    For my card, I’m using the new Birthday Blessings set. Isn’t this a wonderful tea cup full of flowers? I colored it w/ markers and added a little iridescent watercolor medium on top for a little sparkle. I used the out of the box Nestie technique to cut it out.  The purple background was run through the Grand Calibur with an embossing folder. The ivory/yellow panel was stamped with pigment ink using one of my favorite past releases, Crocheted Background. A little strip of the Crochet Border from Serve the Lord was added under the olive green panel. A matching Crochet circle was stamped and die cut using the matching dies. I used the first part of the sentiment for my little tags and the complete sentiment from the set is on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
