Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping
the theme this month being "Anything Stamped with Stencil Option".
Looking through my stamps, I decided on this lovely Lighthouse. I stamped it onto a die cut piece of card I had left over from something else, then embossed with clear powder. I masked the lighthouse and inked the background, using a stencil to enhance the clouds. The birds were stamped onto the sky, then the lighthouse was painted with DI's. Using another part of the stencil, I inked the sea in 3 different colours. Before attaching to the main card, I matched up the wave stencil again and inked through the stencil onto the card. The lighthouse was added onto the stencilled waves and card.
Not planning anything on the end result, I had to choose a sentiment. Looking at the lighthouse, I decided it was a rough day, so selected the sentiment to suit. I know the card will be ready for a "rough" time or event I will have to send a card for. Sorry the photo isn't up to standard, the weather was awful when I took it, so dark and miserable.

Oh so pretty! I LOVE the lighthouse and those "waves" just made it stand out even more. I was just telling my daughter the other day that before I die I'd like to see a real lighthouse. Maybe some day I will - until then I'll think of your card
