And here is the card I created:
I used the top row: use dimension, lighthouse, sponging. And I also used the vellum option. My top two layers are popped up off of the lighthouse layer with foam tape, so it gives a nice dimensional look. I sponged on the clouds using a Taylored Expressions stencil and sponged on the "light beam". I also sponged ink on the blue layer through a sunburst stencil. I thought I might look like light beams coming from the light in the lighthouse, but ummm . . . maybe not so much. Still, it adds a fun, subtle element. I stamped the sentiment on the vellum strip several times using my mini MISTI to get a nice, dark impression.

Your lighthouse card is so beautifully composed - the stenciling is perfect. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Creative fingers Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)
The first thing I thought of when I saw your card was the cool way you used the frame and blue light beams to enhance the lighthouse theme, so yes! You achieved your goal! It looks fantastic.
I love the clouds and the birds in the background. It's a very beautiful card. Thanks for sharing it with us for our Cut it Up for our Birthday challenge!
