Over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, the challenge for July 13 is to “Create a Scene”. Not to act out I assume (although I could do that very well when I dropped my magnetic platform on my foot!) , but to make a card with a scene or scenery. My first thoughts turned to my collection of lighthouse stamps. definitely a starting point for a scene, don’t you think?
I searched my little cabinet of lighthouses and found a selection of stamps that would add to the scene. I selected one of my lighthouses that was situated the way I wanted and added in a stamp with some seascape features.

A little masking, a few black pen strockes here and there, some watercoloring, and some color coordinated matting, and here is what I came up with as a scene.
I die-cut some suitable words in colors that matched the mats and came up with a finished card:
Maybe the water is never this blue off Cape Hatteras (I’ve never been there and it looks a little tropical to me) but it works for me!
