Nautical Designer stash

I opened the lighthouse image from the Nautical Designer stash into my image editor. Then I added a background sheet with blue painted planks. Next I added a smaller, wood colored and patterned background sheet on top of it leaving a broad border. After this I added two different overlays to the blue bg sheet to get the edges to look more aged.

Next I added the life preserver on the left upper corner and positioned the light house on the right lower corner. After this I added the sparkles in the middle. Then I added the text in the middle. As a finishing touch I added an anchor in the middle of the life preserver and some light on top of the lighthouse. I will add decoupage layers later on.
