Lighthouse Sketch

Paper Makeup Stamps - M4TW17 Sketch

Gabby from the Paper Makeup Stamps Design Team came up with this sketch for their Makeup for the Weekend challenge. It has a lot of layers, but after a lot of thought and rearranging of pieces, I think I got it just right. :) I paper-pieced the light house from the PMS set Sailing By. It's hard to see, but I colored the windows and edged the lighthouse with spica glitter pens. It gives it a very nice sparkly shadow on the left side. {grin} I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for some texture and added faux stitching to the layers rather than matting them which would have made my card even thicker. And I'm pretty pleased that I made a card without any white or vanilla cardstock ~ that's really hard for me to do!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed day! {smile}
