Chalk-Ah-Lot Lighthouse card

Edited May 2021. See sidebar for explanation 
Below the card is a picture tutorial on how I achieved the look of the lighthouse.

Other Supplies used in this card:
Patterned paper by MME and DCWV
cardstock by Recollections
Border die and scallop oval by Spellbinders
helm die cut by Cricut Life is a Beach
Braiding cord by Allary (bought at Wal-Mart)
Sentiment stamp by Stamp N plus Scrap N
Ink by Memento


 I thought I would show you how I made this background.

I used glue with my chalk this time.


I painted the blue chalk on top of the sheet of watercolor paper.


Then painted a little bit of green on the bottom.


I stamped my image using Memento black ink. Let both your glue/chalk mixture dry before stamping the image.


Got out my Spellbinders scallop oval die and lined it up to the image.


Ran it through my Cuttlebug once to cut and a second time to emboss it. 



Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
