For my dcard, I used a white straight edge card. I added a red mat.Using an embossing folder,  I embossed  lips onto white card.

I chose to work on a white 5" x 7" card. For the background of my card I used some lovely blue backing paper covered in prety shells. The ribbon strips and some additional shells were cut from paper, all from Debbie Moore Shabby Chic - Travel CD. The main image is a stamp from Michael Powell bought through Do Crafts, yes, this is an old but wonderful stamp. I coloured the image with Promarkers, and found it so relaxing. I used Distress inks to blend the sky. I look forward to seeing your lighthouses. Take care.
