Stormy Sea Light Up Card





Hello! It's Lauren here today sharing this pretty light up card featuring the lighthouse image and a sentiment from the new, High Tide Stamp set illustrated by Agota Pop. 

I started out creating a stormy/cloudy night background using Lindy's Gang Magical's in Pocketwatch Pewter and Black Hole Black.





While my background was drying, I stamped my lighthouse in a fadeout/no line ink then colored it using my colored pencils. I also cut out the lighthouse light opening and fussy cut out the whole image.




Next, I lined up where I wanted my light house to sit and used my pokey tool to mark and poke holes where the lights would be into the background.



I then lined the background over a white, top folding A2 sized (4.25x5.5") card base. I used a pencil through the holes to make marks on the card base where the lights would be.



Next, I positioned the 3 bulbs from Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light over the marks and secured them down with tape. I also secured the battery button part using double sided tape on the back of it. 


I then placed double sided foam tape from Pear Blossom Press (it is repositionable for up to approx. 30 min.) to the back of my lighthouse panel, making sure to leave an open space for the battery. I removed the backing paper and secured it onto the card base.

                                        

Once I had the panel aligned directly over the lights, I adhered the lighthouse on.




I then stamped the "press here" (from Pear Blossom Press) directly over top of the button that turns the light on.


Lastly, I stamped my sentiment, die cut it out using a die from the You've Been Framed die set from The Rabbit Hole Designs and shaded it with my pencils. Then I adhered it to my card.





I just love how this card turned out! I hope I have inspired you to create your own light up card using this awesome lighthouse! I've linked products I used, below. Thanks for visiting!

  1. Hi Lauren. I really like your card. The background is very unique and really looks like a dark, rainy and stormy sky. The no-line coloring makes the house more real in the storm. I love the light up element to your card. My favorite lighthouse is in Hunting Island, SC. I actually got to climb to the top and see all around the area. I will always remember that experience.
