Lighthouse Adventure
Summer means water adventures for many. Trips to the ocean, lake, river, even farm pond. Days of swimming, fishing, laying out in the sun. One of the adventures that can happen around water is a lighthouse adventure.
Maybe admire one from your boat on the water. Maybe explore it up close.
Do you have a lighthouse near you?
Is it a working lighthouse?
Would you like to be a lighthouse keeper?
Card Details
SUO Challenge 405 inspired this card. This week we are CASEing the Designer. I chose to CASE the sketch and the colors from the inspiration card. My card has blues instead of green, but it kept the pink and yellow tones.
Like the inspiration card, the larger rectangle is embossed. I used is a retired Stampin’ Up!® embossing folder that I find myself drawn to anytime I want to represent water. I’m not sure I can officially call it my favorite, because I like them all for different reasons. But, it does happen to be the one I use the most often. So, for the As You See It Challenge, I can say, My favorite embossing folder is So Swirly.
I used the other side of the double sided Designer Series Paper used for the background layer of the card to create the smaller rectangle on the front.
Instead of the flower diecuts, my card uses a lighthouse diecut. This is where a touch of green gets added to the card as well as more of the pink in the stripes around the lighthouse.

Ah ha – I’m a big fan of So Swirly myself, lol. I LOVE how you’ve colored the lighthouse, and the layered panels for this card are SO amazing – such a pretty card! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
Thanks Heather
What a lovely way to use these papers, lighthouse and embossing folder. We do have a little lighthouse less than an hour away, but it’s challenging to see unless you’re on the water! Thanks for playing with our As You See It embossing folder challenge this week!
Do you ever get on the water so you can see the lighthouse?
Such a pretty summer card, Angel. The pinks and blues portray the sunset beautifully. Thanks for playing along at Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Thanks Cindy
Angel your EF is a great one for water and lots of other uses too. This is also a great CASE of Jolanda’s layout – I love the lighthouse detail too. Thanks for sharing with us over at As You See It!
Thanks Joanne. I always think water when I use So Swirly
Angel, So Swirly is great for any kind of water scene, and I love lighthouses, so this is a super design. I like the way you cased the designer, too, and brought that background DSP to life! Thanks for filling in our blank at As You See It Challenges!
Thanks Heather
That’s a beautifully put together design, Angel. I like the way you’ve used the folder to add to the maritime theme but also to give the eye a rest and let us focus on the lovely lighthouse. Like you, it’s hard to pick a favourite folder as they all have their perfect moment to be used. Thank you for sharing with us at As You See It.
Thanks Jan. I just went through all my embossing folders and you’re right–different ones are perfect for different uses
