Betty's colors are Real Red, Bermuda Bay and Kraft, and here's what I created.
I watercolored this gorgeous lighthouse scene from A Guiding Light with reinkers and markers and cut out with the Long Deckled Nestabilities. The paper was actually my total inspiration. It's from Webster's Pages - the Triple Pack Collection , isn't it perfect?
I kept the details simple, a little piercing, a little punch edgework, and some frayed ribbon along with the criss-cross along the brads detailing, tied with some linen thread.
Just YUMMY I think! Thanks for stopping by again today!
