Simon Says Pirate Themed Challenge!!!


Hey there I'm back! My card today is for the Simon Says Challenge where our theme is "Pirates"! This is a fun challenge since there are an abundance of pirated themed stamps out there right now.  We would love to see all of your creations with them and you could win a $25 Shopping Spree from Simon Says Stamp!!!



My card was 100% inspired by the Nitwits collection called AyeAye Captain. You can find it here. I am such a fan of their papers and these were even on sale.


Card Recipe:

Stamps:  Magnolia, Hero Arts sentiment
Inks:  Distressed Inks
Papers:  Nitwits download
Tools:  Sewing Machine
Embellies:  Black flatbacked pearls, ribbon

I have officially been given my pirate name so I will say goodbye and see you tomorrow for Colour Create!!

Thank you for your kind words.  Have a wonderful piratey day!!!!

Hugs, Pirate Avalon the Engorged (aka Dena)

    Oh my goodness Dena...this is just gorgeous! I am not a fan of doing masculine cards...but, boy oh boy...this could change my way of thinking! You know how to add such little details...the paper with the little anchors on them, the stitching (out of this world) and yes...your colouring with those distress inks! LOVE IT LOVE IT!
    P.S. thank-you so much for your sweet encouragements regarding my distress inks journey!!!!LOL I have you to blame for LOVING THEM!!!LOL
