To the Lighthouse

Happy Wednesday!

I have a masculine card to show you today!  Though it would certainly work well as a sympathy card too!

Long ago, maybe 2008 or 2009 I won a pile of rubber from Artful Inkables, love their stuff, but somehow it was all pushed to the side and I just recently found it again when I resolved to use my stash this year!

Keeping that in mind, this stamp was a perfect fit for both the Creative Belli challenge which always encourages us to use up our stash  AND our Design DIVA Blog Hop's theme "Oldies but Goodies" using stamps at least 6 months old!  Isn't this a wonderful 'find'?!

Stamps: Artful Inkables

Paper: SU! cs, textured white

Ink: Stazon -midnight blue

Other: cotton duck fabric, twine, button

pinking shears

We hop every month on the third Wednesday!

This week at the Creative Belli challenge we are using felt or fabric on our creations!  This could be a felt flower, trim or maybe a little pieced dress for your image!  No felt? then use whatever fabric you can find...I tore apart a linen dishtowel a while back and am still using pieces from it on my creations!   I am quite lacking in the felt department so I used some cotton duck fabric which, of course, reminded me of the beach!

Pop on over to the Belli blog and oooh & ahhh over all the wonderful DT creations, then play along with us, you might just be the next Belle of the Belli!   Creative Belli Challenge blog!

So, if you are hopping with the DIVAS today and arrived here from the lovely Lisa Lara's blog, you're right on track.  If you need to start from the beginning, hop over to the brilliant Brenda's blog!

Your NEXT STOP is the fabulously talented Mary G!

I hope this post has encouraged you to dig into your stash-y treasures and find something wonderful!  Have fun!
Blessings!
