I wanted to create a masculine card since I have so few in my card stash. I was loosely inspired to use the general layout of a postcard because the students in my grade 8 English class are making postcards from a novel character, writing brief summaries of a critical scene to another character - so a vintage postcard came to my mind quite naturally.
I used a lighthouse image from High Seas as my main focal point and coloured it with warm grey copic markers. I have highlighted areas using an opaque white gel pen. The sentiment is from Moments with You which is a go to round sentiment stamp. I made this Moments with You card using this set, and it remains one of my favourite projects.
I trust you have been truly inspired by the wonderful art work featured on the hop, and many thinks for your kind comments.

Elegant and beautifully done. Love, love this card. It's wonderful!
So glad to see a masculine card because I think we all tend to be low on those in our handmade stash. I often start out with the idea of making one, but it ends up a feminine design! The monochromatic combo and lighthouse theme are so relaxing and perfect for a guy.
I love this card Well Done ! )
Hi, I like this stamp....I like the way you used it!...inspiring.
Your card is a great masculine look. Which is not easy to get right.
Beautiful idea for a masculine card....they are not easy to come up with.
Lighthouses are perfect for masculine cards! Lovely composition.
This is a really great male card. Always like lighthouses.
Love how you got depth of layers into this monochromatic card!
