The Doc has a mate with a birthday coming up soon and he is very interested in Lighthouses. I found this print in amongst my freebie magazine papers and turned it into this card. It is from Making Cards May 2016 and called Landscapes.
The print on its own looked a bit flat so I cut piece of white vellum paper to fit over the top of the picture. Then used a silver gel pen to draw the outline of the lighthouse, quayside, railing , sea gulls and hills onto the vellum. It has given it a lovely misty look. Added a blue stitched frame die, layered onto silver shimmer card and then created a black base card. The base is a Concertinered Tent Fold and the picture bellow shows a sideways view of it. This stops the card from sliding down when stood up.
The sentiment and greeting is added to the back panel of the card base. Sentiment on the front is a silver sticker.

Wow Mrs A your card is amazing xx
This is a wonderful male card. Adding the vellum made it look like a misty day that makes a lighthouse so necessary. I love the soft blue frame.
What a clever idea to put velum over the top of the photograph. Thanks for sharing your creation with us on the Let's Craft & Create blog this month. Cathy LC&C DT
