For my card, I used a set of Kanban stamps, and stamped them in Broken China DI then fussy cut them. I used a water brush to add a little more ink from the pad to the sky, sea and lighthouse stripes, then assembled then on layers of pearlescent blue paper and a blue patterned paper from an old Anna Griffin stack.
Here is my card for the challenge:
However, I felt that the lighthouse looked a little lost in the main image, so I stamped it again in lack and coloured it with Promarkers, adding Glossy Accents to the light at the top, then added it over the top of the original. It's taken me a few steps away from the all-blue card I made for the challenge but I think it's given my card a stronger focal point.
I am sharing this with:
Sparkles Monthly Challenge - January Blues
Glitter and Sparkle - Monochrome
Just Us Girls - White, Dark Blue, Light Blue
