The light...and no coloring!

He is the light of the world.
No Coloring! I said, "No Coloring." Not one marker or pencil was used in the making of this card. Only ink pads and....sponges. I am not a very good colorer, IMHO (in my humble opinion), so I have to come up with different ideas to get color to paper on the digital images. For example, the light - I used to scraps of paper laid them over the black lines and sponged on Summer Sun. Nearly impossible to mask the waves, so I cut out the white caps and glued them over the Pacific Point and Certain Celery sea. Thre's a Soft Sky sky and Red Riding Hood top of the light house, with Garden Green hill leading to the water and light house. My lighthouse is white and sitting right in the water as the tide has risen and the sea is rough. This image is from Faith of Delightful Inspiration. I believe that I need a 12 step program. I am addicted to Faith's digis, now.
the rest of the card is self explanatory so I will leave you with a short post.
Thanks for coming by!
