Scenic Lighthouse



I am partial to scenic lighthouse images and Just For Fun has this lovely Lighthouse image.  It is a simple design and I decide to add just a little enhancement for this card.



The Lighthouse was stamped on watercolor paper.  Using Kuretake ZIG Watercolor Brush Pens, a little color was added to the sand, grass, and the lighthouse.  I did not want to distract from the image, itself.



I recently purchased a pad of Graphic 45’s Sun Kissed Design Paper and this was perfect for the background layers.  I love the sea turtles.

Thank you for stopping by.  Don’t forget there is still time to enter the July monthly challenge of Red, White, and Blue.  Get the detail and enter your project on the blog, here.

Owl Be There!



Last month I shared a card using Just For Fun's StampTangle Tri-Circle Block.  Today’s card uses it again in a different way.


The StampTangle Tri-Circle Block was inked with several different green Distress Inks and stamped on white cardstock.  This was fussy cut and layered on yellow cardstock with the Owl Be There For You sentiment, from JFF, stamped in brown along the side.



JFF's small Stamptangle Fancy Owl was stamped three times with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and colored with Copic Markers.  Super easy to color.  These were fussy cut and parts of two images were tucked behind the Tri-Circle Block, peaking out of the small circle windows.  The remaining full image was adhered in front of the largest circle window, along with the fussy cut Branch from JFF.

Have a great weekend!

Just For Fun Rubber Stamps July Challenge



July has snuck up on us and we have another new challenge at the Just For Fun Blog. 


Perfect time for the theme “Red, White, and Blue”



I decided to go for a 4th of July holiday card.  I started with some lovely designer cardstock and stamped Just For Fun’s Fireworks Burst several times on top with Danube Blue Memento Ink.  This was layered on two different shades of blue and the white card base, edged with Distress Ink.



The New York Tag from JFF was stamped with Love Letter Memento Ink on the lighter blue cardstock.  This was fussy cut and edged with Distress Ink, a little fiber added, and angled on the card front.  I cut and distressed a small banner and stamped JFF’s America the Beautiful sentiment on it in blue.  This was layered with the darker blue cardstock and added across the card front.

We would love for you to join this challenge.  Get the details on the Just For Fun Blog, along with more inspiration from my fellow JFF designers.
