CCEE1224 - Nautical

Kathy challenged us to make a nautical card on the CCEE blog today.  Lighthouses are one of my favorite images, and this one is no exception.


After stamping the image, I cut it out using a Spellbinders pennant die and then sponged the sky and sand.  The lighthouse is colored with Copics.  I used another one of the dies in the pennant set to cut out the birthday.

If you'd like to play along, here's a link to the CCEE blog.

Today's SCS Ways to Use It challenge was to make a "man card."  A brand-new set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, to be released next week is Island Life.  There are lots of "manly" images on this set.  Here's the card I made for that challenge.


I used some more of those pennants from Spellbinders on this card, too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

I'm glad that your post has taken :D. I thought the layout looked fabulous, I love all the angles in it, and that perfect background paper. Your second card is really lovely too - again, a very effective design.
