I just can’t get enough of my pirate stamps! Or my pirate sentiments. I still giggle every time I see the ‘It’s’ Yarr Birthday’ stamp.
These cards are made with some of the many images I coloured at last week’s craft fair. The one with the girl pirate follows the sketch at Paper Garden Projects right now.
These images have such thin parts, I’ve found the best way to cut them out is to leave a bit of a white outline. I think I’ve decided I really like the definition it gives, it just makes them ‘pop’ a little.
This stripe is actually the back side of the dot paper from the girl pirate card! I stamped some skull & crossbones in yellow to make it a bit more pirate-y.
I wanted the textured grass seed paper to be a sort of a sand dune, and the pebbly embossed paper to be, well, rocks or pebbles on a beach.
There are spica glitter pen accents on the treasure chest, and his earring!
