For my card I have used two digi images, both from Toucan Scraps. I had never made a tent card and think they look really effective if you combine the right elements together. I absolutely adore lighthouses and being at the sea and really wanted to have a go at combining both the Lighthouse and Peaceful Sea images using this type of card. Both images are coloured with Promarkers.

I didn't follow any instructions but had a reasonable idea of how it would work and made it up as I went along. I used an A4 sheet of stardream card as my base and scored the lines for the base. I then scored a line in the middle of the size that was left. I used a Nestie label frame to cut out a window in the front of the card. The image is attached to the inside of the back panel with foam squares. I added some blue glitter glue around the edge for a bit of twinkle. The lighthouse has been added to the outside of the card and I use some Glossy Accents on the light at the top.

I am really please with how this has turned out. I truly love being so inspired when I initially see the digi design but when it actually comes out the way you planned it in your head it amazes me every time!!

Card Size - A5 Tent Card

Images - Lighthouse & Peaceful Seas by Toucan Scraps
