The Light Shines w/Stamp Simply

Hello, and welcome.  It's always a treat to have you visit me here on my blog.  Today I'm sharing a FUN lighthouse card that I created for Stamp Simply Clear Stamps using just a few of their many wonderful products.  There are several different Lighthouse Stamps available at Stamp Simply, as well as stamps and dies for just about every other category you can imagine.  They carry a wonderful variety of wonderfully amazing products.

Lighthouses always make me think of my sister, Audra, who passed of brain cancer.  She loved them so much because they reminded her of how God is our light in the dark storms, just like the lighthouses are to the ships.  Stamp Simply carries so many great Lighthouse Stamps.  I started with a black cardstock base and I layered that with a woodgrain paper found in the Craft Consortium's Scorched Wood 6x6 Paper Pad.   It's a really warm welcoming paper pad for card bases.  Next, I added some patterned paper scraps to the card base.  And finally, I added a paper ledger page from my stash, and this is where I did my stamping.  Very basic and easy.

I used the He Is The Light Stamp Set with Ground Espresso ink to stamp the lighthouse, the sentiment, anchor and ship's wheel.  I used the He Is The Light Dies to cut the ship's wheel.  Oh, before I forget to mention it, the flying seagulls are found in the He Stilled the Storm Stamp Set.  I also tucked in some torn cheesecloth and some bundled Green Jute from the Burlap Jute Sampler Pack.  There are lots of great trims and other surprising goodies waiting for you at Stamp Simply.

Be sure to check out the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of amazing inspiration each day and stop by Stamp Simply to look around and possibly do some shopping.  You deserve something new, and at Stamp Simply, you're sure to find something that you will absolutely LOVE.  Thanks again for stopping by to say hello today.  I appreciate you so much.
