By the Sea

I just love the lighthouse from Beyond the Sea.  There's many coloring possibilities with the openness of the image.  It makes a great all occasion card, masculine card and would even make a wonderful Sympathy card. I'd like to zap myself into the scene and spend a day or two by the Sea!

I used Distress Inks and the Sprtiz and Flick Technique to create the background.

You're a Cracker Jack!


Made this card for a masculine/dear old dad challenge.  I like putting all of the words from the set onto one clear block, and using it to make a background.  Quick, easy, and you don't have to decide which greeting to use - use ALL of them!
