I really love lighthouse images so this set is one of my favorites. I kept it fairly simple by stamping the image with Barn Door ink onto a white panel. I don't know why lighthouses also make me think of picket fences, but they do, so I added one I cut with a die. I popped it up with foam tape to add dimension. I then stamped the sentiment using red onto a small piece of white card stock and popped that up over the fence. The white panel is framed with a red piece of card stock and then adhered onto the white card front.

Thanks for looking! Enjoy the other designer's creations by hopping along the blogs listed below.
