I wanted to use nautical dp, but I didn't have any so I made some. I started by drawing vertical and horizontal lines and then sketched some "land" I scanned it on my computer and printed it on a paper bag. I then burned the edges. I stamped the light house on white. I cut it out and glued it to the map. I added twine and sheet music. I stitched the edges and then did faux stitching around the sides.
I love this old gospel song called THE LIGHTHOUSE. I hope it blesses you.
How cleaver are you to make your own dp with a nautical theme. It looks great.
