Lighthouse Birthday Card

Wow for me - two posts in two days!  Today I'm displaying a card for our neighbor, my husband's golf buddy.


The image is from Our Daily Bread - I've used it before. I colored the image with Distress Markers. Actually, this is the first time I've successfully colored with them. I've tried and tried before, but was never happy with the result. But this time, something clicked. I cut the image with an oval Nestie and added some Washi on the side. The sentiment is CTMH.

I'm entering the following challenges:  Addicted to CAS #58 - Code Distress; Seize the Birthday  - Masculine; and A Gem of A Challenge #139 - Clean and Simple.

I'm happy to be posting again :)

  5. Sheila, you are amazing! This is just lovely (I really like the ODBD image a lot). I'm in the same boat with the DI & watercoloring them. I can't get a nice result at all, but you certainly did with this one. Very pretty. And I like the way you've got that bold stripe border to the side. A real winner! Good for you at keeping on with the technique and being successful with it too. TFS & Hugs.
