A Strong Tower

This is my second card created with Clear Dollar Stamps, "Sheltering Lights" & "Shinng Strength". For this card I chose a teal flavor to satisfy a CDS Design Team Challenge to make a monochromatic card. I love making monochromatic cards and this one was no exception. I used some teal-colored coordinating designer paper to make most of the card, except the paper on the right panel, which is so old from my scrapbooking days, that I don't even know what it is other than it looks like water. LOL But, it's always good to use paper that I've been hoarding for years, literally. The main stamp image was colored & blendied with Copic Sketch Markers, the fish charm and monkey fist was added to create a "nautical feel" to the card. "Sheltering Lights" stamp set contains two light houses and several sentiments. The sentiment on this card is from another stamp set called "Shining Strength", devoted to speaking of God's strength and might. It's a lovely sentiment set and coordinates beautifully with "Sheltering Lights". Both stamp sets will be released on July 1st and available for purchase at www.newcleardollarstamps.com.
