You're a Treasure

You're a Treasure

Supplies:
Stamps - MFT (Party Like a Pirate)
Dies - MFT (Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Circles)
PP - Unknown
Glitter Tape - American Crafts
Colored Pencils - Prismacolor
Other - Gold Brads, Gold Thread, Foam Tape
I rearranged the sketch a bit to accommodate the images I wanted to use on this card. I offset them because the girl with her telescope seems to be looking in a downward direction and so that is where I placed the treasure chest. Added a bit of glitz to this card with the touches of gold glitter tape, thread, and brads.

Ahoy, Mate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Party Like a
Pirate

Supplies
Stamps - MFT (Party Like a Pirate, Big Birthday Sentiments)
Stencil - MFT (Mini Clouds)
Ink - Distress Ink (frayed burlap, antique linen, wild honey, faded jeans)
MFT (blue breeze)
Dies - MFT (Blueprints 23, Party Like a Pirate)
Colored Pencils - Prismacolor

Started this card by stenciling the clouds for the background. I cut two border pieces from blue cardstock and then  used the opposing pieces to create the waves which I then added distress inks to give dimension. The sand was tan paper that I also layered and added inks. The boy and parrot are mounted with foam tape to give them depth while the ship is tucked between the waves.

Feel Better with Lulu


                   

Today's card combines the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch (#236) with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Springtime Lulu stamp to make a clean and simple Get Well card. I embossed the background with Sizzix'large flowers before layering the stamped image then added ribbon and pre-made Jolee's flowrs inside a die cut stitched circle. Then added a sentiment by Stamps of Life to finish this 
Get Well card.
