A Lighthouse and Some Birch Trees

I am still enjoying my Guiding Lights stamps.  Today I used that set to make a masculine birthday card.  I stamped the lighthouse and then blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink under and around it. I paired it up with a sentiment from WMS Ocean Bound to create a one layer masculine birthday card.

I am entering this card at Less is More #232 where the challenge is one layer masculine, Addicted to CAS #67 where the code word is Patriotic, Seize the Birthday where the toppings option is red, white and blue, and Marker Pop #72 Anything Goes (I used Distress ink from their store).

My next two cards were inspired by this beautiful card by Carol that I found on the Winnie & Walter website when I went to look for inspiration for a new stamp I recently bought called Into the Woods. I made two different versions of a similar card.

For my first card, I stamped in Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black and embossed in clear and then added a die cut word from PTI Wet Paint.  

I am entering this card at Time Out #35 'Nature with the Optional Twist of Animals', CAS-ual Fridays #141 Embossing, and Just Add Ink #270.

I wanted to include animals in my next version, so I used a family of die cut deer silhouettes.

I am entering this card at Time Out #35 'Nature with the Optional Twist of Animals', Simply Create Too #89 Get Ahead for Christmas, and Simon Says Wednesday Furry Friends (I am pretty sure that deer are furry).

That's it for me today.
