Inspired by a postage stamp

I thought it would be fun to do a couple of different color treatments to a lighthouse image. I have a sheet of the Post Office's New England Coastal Lighthouses series of stamps on my desk, and I took the color cues from the stamps, especially for the purple and orange sunset. (Oddly enough, I also have a set of knot-tying instruction cards on my desk, and I used them to try a few different knots for this card, but I have to say, to my untrained eye they don't look that different.)

The sketch for this is the current Papertake Weekly sketch, #86.

The image is from an old Stampin Up set (with the Father's Day greetings trimmed off),colored with pencils. The twine is Martha Stewart baker's twine, and the gingham is from Making Memories.
