Lighthouse for Dad
I am nothing more than woefully behind in posting my card creations, and while I'd really like to post them in the order I created them, that's just not going to happen. Soooooo...
This is the card I made for my dad for Father's Day! I created it from yet another card kit; this one is from Lorie. Such a beautiful image to color, and the patterned paper was perfect! (Please, no comments on the number of Copics I used; I'm still learning!)
Lorie included a great bag o' goodies in the kit, but I remembered I had these tarnished brass buttons in a jar given to me by a friend that I've been itching to use. And see this little flower? I crocheted it myself! I used the same crochet cotton to thread and tie the buttons on the card.
So what (and when) will I be posting next? Who knows ... I guess you'll just have to check back to find out. Tee-hee-hee!
Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a great day!

WOW! I saw the thumbnail of this card on my blog, and I jumped right on over here! I'm so happy to see you used my card kit for this! I LOVE that stamp, and you added the perfect embellies! Those buttons are wonderful, and I love the way you did the rope!! This has to be one of my favorite masculine cards EVER!!!
Love ya,
Lorie
Susan, this is really beautiful. The DP fits perfect and your coloring is great. I like your handmade Flower -this work i´ve given to my grandma ;-) - and the big eylets.

Everything about your card is just simply breathtaking, Susan. It's such a vision to see this little scene you colored (how many Copics, again? Tee hee!) And your flowers! GAH!!!! A hidden talent now bursting out for all to oogle over - they turned out superb and a perfet match to your stunning little scenery card. Well done!
Oh my goodness... Susan this is stunning! I love the lighthouse and those embellishments are perfectly nautical! Awesome!!!
Wow! This is beautiful!! But then all your cards are beautiful, Susan. I have one I received from you sitting on my desk and each time I look at it I think of you and want to take lessons from you!
