For my project, I did a late Father's Day/Birthday gift to my husband and used a Lighthouse Scene stamp from Hero Arts that I bought back in 1996 or 1998 (copyright info too small for my migraine) when I first started stamping. My husband has been asking for me to make another project using this stamp for years now and I finally got it done. It's amazing to see how my coloring skills have improved from way back when. I had given him a framed lighthouse as a birthday present years ago and colored it using Crayola pencils. This new one is colored using Castle Arts pencils and I'm amazed at the difference in my shading from then to now. Behind my lighthouse I used a slimline cloud stencil from Picket Fence Studios along with Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using blending brushes also from Picket Fence. Below is the side by side view.
