Hello everyone!Wednesday nights after Church my husband has a long conference call with China and I generally go to my craft room to do a little playing. Last night I needed a quick masculine encouragement card so this is what I came up with.
I used "Keep my Lamp Burning" from Our Daily Bread Designs. The base is Bazzill textured, and the DP is K&Co. The main image is stamped in Memento Rich cocoa and sponged with Ranger Distress Inks in Scattered Straw, Frayed Burlap and Old Paper. The image is cut with a small scalloped rectangle die from Nestabilities and has two small eyelets attached, through which I passed some hemp (SU!) to attach to the card. For some reason the colors didn't take well this morning in the photo... all the colors have a rich golden tone from sponging except I left the lighthouse itself unsponged so that it stands out against the rest. Can't figure out the lighting this morning! LOL! So that's it for now! Have a blessed Thursday! Thanks for looking!

This is so great, I love the colors and the different layers. I love the texture of the twine and the way it is looped through.
I left you something on my blog.
The colors you chose look great in combination. This is a nice masculine card, I think you did a nice job combining texture and color and image.
This is beautiful Grace. I love this set. I think it is my favorite ODB yet. I love the rustic feel to this card. The browns are so pretty. Great job.
I love nautical sets and this is one of my favorites! Your card reminds me that we don't always have to color everything in to have a fabulous result! I love the shading of the images!
