Welcome
This was one of a batch of cards that I made earlier this month.
I started by printing off this watercoloured lighthouse image, which was a freebie from Ginny at Christian Card Makers Group on Facebook
I thought myself very clever that I was able to superimpose the scripture on the corner of the image before printing (my computer skills are all self taught.)
I ran around the edges of the image panel and the white layer it was mounted on with a blue ink pad, stamped the sentiment in the same blue ink and clear embossed (I swear that the stamp was straight on the MISTI before I stamped). Layered those onto the red base, added the black flatback pearls and called it done. A very quickly made masculine card.

Beautifully done Maxine. It is a lovely image.
So lovely Maxine - what a beautiful and serene scene you have created -love it! You watercolour so well! xox
Well done on your computer work on this lovely card x
I think you are VERY clever to get that verse printed on your card too! I like the soft, serene colors of this digi, and it looks very nautical with the red, white & blue. I love that verse as well, and how appropriate for so many of us, just at this period in our lives. On the stamping, sometimes it's the rubber that is not straight. I have quite a few that are like that, and wonder if the designer meant it to be so, or if just a mixup when the rubber was created? However, it looks quite nice on the card, and my eye went to the verse & didn't notice anything with the sentiment until reading the post! Nobody but yourself will ever notice anything except what a great job you did on this card! TFS & Hugs
So beautiful Maxine and you ARE clever with your PC skills!! Happy New Year my lovely blog buddy. I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are coping with things? I wish you a wonderful 2017 filled with love, laughter, health and happy crafting days! Hugs, Wends xoxo
I, too, think you are pretty clever getting the verse to layer on the image. I'm pretty positive I could not do that! Gorgeous image and perfect for a guy. Thanks for playing with Jo's Scrap Shack.
Looks like a spot I would like to walk! Enjoy the weekend!
Hello, Maxine!
This is really beautiful.. You've outdone yourself again with the stamping. I really love the water coloring up in the clouds. You've done a great job on this, as you do with all your cards. You continue to inspire me. Thanks so much for sharing your art with us. I hope you are having a blessed week.

Love, love love the lighthouse! Glad I'm not the only one that puts the stamp on straight in the misti and it decides to self alter. Gives it character! Nothing could take away from the beauty of your creation

Lovely card thanks for sharing it with us at Artistic Inspirations. Louise DT x
Great image and how you used. You go with your computer skills! Your card came out quite nice.
I think so too about your computer skills. You are a genius, honestly. Love how you try new techniques all the time. And your water colour image looks so HANDMADE AND REAL. No one could tell it has been downloaded from the computer.
The sentiment is so encouraging,
Monica
This is fantastic! I love that scene. Thanks for playing along with HLS Jan Anything Goes With Dies
