Here is the card I created to showcase the new Welcome Home set. I just love this set. Lighthouses can be used for so many wonderful cards. For this one, I stamped the image onto vanilla card stock and colored with Copic Markers. I sponged light blue around the lighthouse to give it a sky look and then shadowed and sponged the lower portion with a caramel color. I then cut/embossed the image with an oval Spellbinders die then did the cracked glass technique on it. I rubbed in more brown and blue inks to get into the cracks so you could see them better. I then mounted that onto the light brown cardstock which was cut/embossed with Spellbinders Beaded Ovals die and I sponged on the darker brown using the die as a stencil. That is popped up on the blue cardstock. I added a strip of the brown cardstock behind the blue which was cut/embossed with Spellbinders Fancy Tags and then the sentiment was stamped with brown ink and popped up. I added the lace and ribbon bow and the lighthouse charm. All the supplies for this card can be found on the Mark's Finest Papers website. I love that lace.

Your cracked glass technique looks really good with this lighthouse. I like that you added some additional brown over the "glass" to accent the cracks.
