Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Simon Says Exclusive "Ahoy Matey Pirates" and Magnolia
Inks: Distressed Inks
Paper: CTMH,
Tools: Sewing Machine, Cricut
Embellies: Stickles, Brads, EK Success Frond Punch, sorry I don't know the flower brand I threw it away
For this card I used the SSS Exclusive set to make my design paper. I tried my sweet friend Debbie Pamment's idea on making faux wood HERE on my porthole (yes, that is what he is sitting in ha ha) Can you believe I glued it down THEN noticed I had the wood grain going wonky? Duh oh well, it was already stuck down. Anyhow, she has such clever ideas on her blog, go see!
I know I always say this, but you have got to see some of the new stuff at the Simon Says Stamp Store. It is awesome. Lots of new goodies being added daily. The link is always on my sidebar.
The number for my blog is 6 !
Next, head over to Debby to see her gorgeous work and to collect the next number. Thanks for stopping by! HAVE fun and good luck!!!
Hugs, Dena
