Your Word is a Light

Lighthouses - they fascinate me.  East coast, West Coast, Mexico - I love them all.  This is one that is a Gina K Design set called Guiding Light.  The verse is also part of the set.
The shells on the bottom of the card are on a Stampin Up rollergraph.  Can't remember the last time I used one of those wheels.  Extra shells are Faith Greetings.
Light house is colored with Prisma pencils.  The clouds and beam of light are sponged on with ink.

The sketch I used can be found here.  I was asked to make up a couple cards for this sketch.  Please stop by Operation Write Home and consider supporting this wonderful organization with either cards you make or financial help.  So here is the sketch:





Challenges:
A Blog Named Hero - use Kraft
Incy Wincy - beach
Ribbon Carousel - celebrate summer
Your Next Stamp - anything goes
Craft 4 Eternity - water theme
Our Daily Bread Design - sponging

    Truly striking the way the bright white background of the image really 'pops' against the neutrals and the shell embellishments are great too. Thanks for both of the fantastic samples for this week's OWH sketch challenge!
