Hello card makers! Barbara Campbell back today with another beach inspired card for you. If you saw my card last week, you may have notice that I cut some dies and I didn't use. Well, here they are for you now.
This is another layered die from Elizabeth Craft. See the solid layer and the outline? I actually colored it after gluing it together. That way I could do some shading to make the lighthouse look curved.
Elizabeth Craft Lighthouse
I used some water colors on the sky and the water, using the brush to make the waves. Next I tore another piece for the sand beach and also used the water colors for some texture.
Take a close look at the rock near the lighthouse, they are mushroom tops colored and shaded. I think they make a great rock. Then I just added the Shoreline Cattails and the sentiment to complete the scene. The sentiment is from Power Poppy Good thinking.
Here are the other dies that I used on this card.
Have some fun with your stamps and dies, I hope that I have inspired you today.
