Lighthouse Card



Virginia is known for its many lighthouses so this stamp seemed a perfect one to use while at the beach.  This image is all one stamp which was inked with black dye ink onto a white card.  Various water base pads were used and the color was applied to the card with a resevoir pen.  The pen was stroked across the pad and then run across the area on the paper where I wanted the color.  A light hand and quick motions were important so the water didn't become too saturated on the card.  Once the color was dried, the words were added and the paper was glued to the card.  Some red and white twine was tied through the button to complete the card.
