Happy Birthday To Ye!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Peg Leg Pete - R088 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and Pirates Birthday - F147 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Peg Leg Pete is showing off his map of previous adventures from his pirating days around the Caribbean. He's gathered quite a treasure of findings. But, when you are a pirate, there is always more places and ships out there to plunder. LOL!

To make my card this week, I used Scrapberry's - The Pirate's Treasure (6x6 Paper Collection) paper for the main background which fit onto a card base of 6" x 6" perfectly.

I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Cardstock and then coloured it in with Copic markers. Next, I fussy cut around the entire image and used a black marker to go around all of the edges.

To create the look of a ship in the background, I cut 2 small pieces of paper from Joy Crafts - Wood Texture and Joy Crafts Tough Textures miniature 4 x 9 designs. Then I joined them both together using 2-sided tape. Next, I ran both pieces through my Cuttlebug using My Creative Time - More Stitched Circles die cut. I popped up both the image and the small half circle background with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape and placed it in the centre of the card.

Once again, I used my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink for the sentiment. I taped down the sentiment onto some scrap red cardstock and bumped it up on the card with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. Lastly, to finish it off, I went around the entire outer edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Rusty Hinge and added a few Kraftin Kimmie - Seashore Dots.
