Checkerboard Lighthouse

Wow that’s bright! But I’m so glad it’s Friday!!! And can you believe it’s almost June already? It’s unreal how fast this year is flying by!

Here’s another beachy summer card for you. I used a CPS sketch because I found it a little challenging to decide how to use the large Rubbernecker lighthouse image. Not to worry though, this CPS53 sketch was just the right answer!

large-lighthouse-blog.jpgThe aqua glass part of the lighthouse is covered with Ranger Glossy Accents.

I know it’s hard to see but I outlined just inside the border of the red circle with a red spica glitter pen and boy does it sparkle! I also traced back over the Ahoy sentiment with a black gelly roll glaze pen after I stamped it in Versafine Onyx black ink just to help it show up better and add more sparkle as well.

I love how my checkerboard border from the Rubbernecker Sweets section coordinates so well with the checkerboard lighthouse!

Thanks for visiting me today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
