Okay, I finally stamped a new card.  It was so much fun to do something that wasn’t cake shaped, cake flavored or cake related!

I’m not sure if this is a widely-known thing or not, but October is Pastor/Clergy Appreciation Month.  Our church doesn’t have any big organized thing, but I wanted to make sure I sent a card.  I knew I wanted to use this lighthouse stamp, and when I sat down to create, the colors just kind of picked themselves.

I also used the Cracked Glass technique to jazz up the image a little.  Here’s a detail shot of the cracked glass technique.

I used Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss paper.  The ribbon is Chocolate narrow grosgrain.  I used the Sanded background stamped in Pacific Point ink.  The lighthouse is stamped in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White and I used Glassy Glaze & Versamark (I did three times through of inking/embossing) to do the cracked glass technique.

Don’t you just love it when a card ends up making itself?  Those are the most fun for me.  This one just seemed to fall into place and it went very smoothly.  A nice little reminder that “Hey, I remember now, stamping is FUN!”

Happy Stamping!
