Memorydex Lighthouse

Hi there,

here is another Memorydex Card Set that I created with my daughter Emily for Mennys Bastelshop. Our inspiration this time was Christy's wonderful video.

  • stamp several critters and backgrounds elements from the following Lawn Fawn sets with Gina K. Designs Obsidian: It's a Bird, Life is Good, You are Sublime, Butterfly Kisses, Mermaid for You
  • color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • create a background using the My Favorite Things Cloud stencil and Distress Ink Speckled Egg
  • cut out some waves and sand dunes from colored cardstock
  • assemble the Memorydex Card to your liking

And this is Emily's creation:


I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
