Lighthouse Card MFP Simple Salutation Ch#5 Bldg

Today is my start of 2nd month being part of Mark's Finest Papers team hosting the Simple Salutations challenge. This week Challenge #5 is Buildings.

Again,  I challenged myself to create a card using a sketch and on a new technique which is to mask part of a stamp.

Sketch is from House That Stamps Built (see below). Used MFP Lighthouses stamp and masked off the trees. First time for me masking off part of a stamp. Used a small piece of cardstock held over the part that I did not want stamped on card; thus masking it off.

Used Kraft cardstock as base. Used Paper Pizazz scrapbook paper that had a Lighthouse image on it. Scanned the scrapbook paper onto americana off-white Kraft cardstock for two 5" x7" pieces (one to be used on front of card & 1 to be used on inside of card). Trimmed the americana off-white Kraft cardstock with scanned image. Stamped the MFP lighthouse. Added Spellbinder pennants. Stamped "Happy Birthday" sentiment on one of the pennants. Punched/embossed the Martha Stewart (MS) Sand Dollars. Added the Sand Dollars to front of card. Added a 2nd piece of americana off-white Kraft cardstock with scanned lighthouse image to inside of card. Added the Starfish that are punched out of center of MS Sand Dollars to inside of card.
