Light of the World

Hope you're all having a great night! I'm just taking it easy -- didn't even bring my laptop home today! Just felt like I could use a little break. :-)

This is just a fun little card I made with Light of the World. I really love that you can take the lighthouse image and do so many things with it! There are times when I'm just plain lazy and don't want to color. The great thing about this image is that it still looks fab even when you don't!

For this card I really wanted to create a "window" effect. I love the old fashioned criss-cross windows - so elegant and pretty! I created my own criss-cross window by scoring some vellum-- make sure to have a light touch as vellum is often more delicate than paper. ;-)

Isn't it a great look? Also so easy!
