Stampin B's #45

 
This is for the Stampin B's #45 challenge by Lois this week; a red, white and blue non patriotic card.   The red just made me think of a lighthouse...not sure why, I have never seen a red lighthouse - but, now I have!  I made an easel card (my first one!) and the knots in the twine are actual sailor knots!  AND peeps I COLORED WITH COPICS... ya all know I struggle with these tools! I really have to FORCE myself to use them.  Maybe I am "getting it", because I am okay with how this turned out!  The crabs and starfish are made with martha stewart punches and the background scoring is done in 1/2 increments (diagonal) on my scor pal.
Please feel free to COME ON OVER and play in the Stampin B's Thursday Challenge~~ we would love to see your creations!!
