Land Ahoy Layout

The little parrot you see on my shoulder is a beanie baby stuffed toy.  I thought it was the perfect finishing touch for my pirate costume.  I was especially pleased with how the telescope came to life when I fussy cut around it and brought it in front of the port hole window. I used many circles to keep unity within the layout which is reflected in the chipboard chain window, compass, gears, ship's wheel and gold coin.  My fall embellishment is wood grain paper and jute twine. I doodled some details for the ships wheel and pirate ship.

This is the Life! (A Pirates Life for Me)

 Ahoy! I spotted a pirate family.  I had so much to fit on this page.  The chain frame was a perfect fit for my pirate family after I heat embossed it silver.  Be on the look out for a gold coin, a map, an anchor charm, eye patch, compass, and a key.  I fussy cut some of the photos and really love how the telescope became more prominent.  I was able to include so many more embellishments by discarding unnecessary photo backgrounds which also made more of the wood grain paper visible.

Ghost Pirate Ship Card

Land Ahoy!
I had so much I wanted to fit on this card...keys, compass, maps, lock, woodgrain (gotta walk the plank), skull, ship's wheel, sword, anchor, and the ship  I just wish the embossed world map was a bit more visible.  The red flag helped bring the card to life. Since, I stamped the ship onto acetate it was easy to stitch the silver thread through it to make the sails look more realistic. I would do more of these...pirates are a super fun theme!
