Merry Christmas Purple Stripe Lighthouse

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is back in the 70's here in Southern CA.  I have been creating Christmas cards.  I thought I had enough cards for this Christmas; but I didn't.     

I found these gorgeous lighthouses on Etsy.  I fell in love with them right away.  It was great to find that I already had the perfect papers for them. Whimsy Blurry Flurries 6 x 6 paper pad are a perfect match.  I try not to create 6 x 6 cards; due to the expense of shipping them; but they looked best on this size of card.  If you don't add extra embellishments, they are a lot less to send in the US.  I have been told that these are a standard size in the UK; so no extra shipping for them in other countries.

Using Wonders Artist Mini "Christmas Lighthouses (P2) Clipart

These colors are actually purple and pink; with a little bit of blue. The cardstock behind the image and the card base are CTMH Royal; which is a gorgeous purple.  These colors are hard to get on a camera for me anyway.

  4. It's a gorgeous image Gloria, although reading the usage T&C' of the original artist it's doubtful competition entry is allowed, so afraid it will be ineligible at Allsorts (see out rule 2).
