We have a great photo to inspire your creations for
Time Out Challenge #266 which is sponsored by Lawn Fawn. I've always enjoyed seeing the lighthouses along our state's coastline. However, I only have one lighthouse product for cardmaking and almost didn't have that! I gave Memory Box 2017 Oceanside Lighthouse and Waves die set to a friend several years ago. Luckily, I made some diecuts for myself first and I've finally used some of them.
I seldom attempt to make scenes and thought keeping it small would be less intimidating. Plus, I really like windows on cards and wanted to use MFT Peek-a-Boo die which I've neglected. I used Distress Oxides pumice stone, broken china, faded jeans, speckled egg, abandoned coral, picked raspberry and a tiny bit of fossilized amber for the background. I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze over the yellow Copic for the windows and the detail wave is covered with Frosted Lace Stickles.
PTI Scripted's little companion sentiments are some of my most used. No embellishments, as this is for a male relative's summer birthday.
Hope you check out all the challenge details, including a larger version of the photo inspiration. You'll also find lots of inspiration from my teammates and our guest designer.

ReplyDeleteFabulous Greta - I am in awe of your style! What a lighthouse - are you sure you don't want to get this one back from your friend? Such a pretty little scene and you kept it CAS! I love the wave coming out from the frame - a nice trick to add a little dimension! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this on the Time Out post. It's my fave for sure! The MFT die is one of my favorites, and your lighthouse scene is just perfect!

ReplyDeleteWell, how strange, just seen my original comment is not there, maybe in spam waiting for approval?
