Hello You....

It's my day to post on the Die-Versions blog, and it seemed like a great day to showcase a beautiful new Die-Version die.

For today's card, I've used Die-Versions "Lighthouse" Whispers DV-474, a fun sentiment from Lawn Fawn, and a fun sand stamp from Great Impressions.



I started with a large focal panel, stamped the sand, and colored with Copics.
The water was added with some distress ink and a sponge, as were the clouds.
The sentiment was stamped on the water line.
I cut the panel to desired size, adhered it to the card base, and set it aside.
The lighthouse was cut three times, once from white, red, and Kraft.
Using the white 'shell', I added some two sided tape to the back side of the lighthouse, and began adding pieces that had been die cut from the Kraft and red papers.
Once all the pieces were 'embedded', I took a grey marker, and did some shadowing on the lighthouse.
It was then added to the focal panel.
A few hand drawn birds finished this little scene perfectly!

Well, thanks for stopping by today!

Hope you will become a follower of the Die-Versions blog,
and do a bit of shopping at the Die-Versions store - they have some wonderful new releases!

Thanks so much for stopping by today,
Patti J.
