StampOwl's Studio: Avast, Me Hearties!

Avast, Me Hearties!!!!!!!

It’s time for another challenge with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.

This month it is my turn to host the challenges and I have again taken my inspiration from the “September Holidays and Special Days” site.

Did you know that Sunday 19th September is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! So my challenge to everyone this week is to create a pirate themed card. If you don’t have pirate stamps think of what a pirate uses eg. ships, eye patch, parrots, treasure, treasure chests etc. i think you get the idea.

The hardest part of this challenge for me was in deciding which pirate stamps to use …. I seem to have quite a collection of pirate stamps. I just can’t resist them! I ended up deciding to go with a couple from Kraftin’ Kimmies Stamps which are some of my newer acquistions!

The scene in the background is a stamp from Starving Artistamps, I stamped this first and colored it in using my copic airbrush to color my sky and sand. Then I added the two pirates and treasure chest which were stamped on separate card and added to my card using foam tape.

Here is the inside of my card, I stamped the barrel, skull & anchor stamps from Magnolia stamps on the bottom left hand side of my card. And also added my favorite pirate sentiment … from The Cat’s Pyjama!
