And a Bottle of Rum...

And that was without even a single drop of rum. -Jack Sparrow

I wanted to buy a bottle of Captain Morgan for a friend for her birthday so I thought a Pirate card would be fun!

I used the Basic Grey Challenge Blog's Sketch Challenge with Eva papers. I paired it with Best Mates from The Greeting Farm. I Paper Pieced the clothes and bandannas and colored the rest with Copics. OOOO, Do you see that stitching around the edge???? That is REAL LIVE STITCHING!!!! I got a Janome Sew Mini for Christmas!!!! :D WOO HOO!!!

Here is a Close Up picture of the Shimmerz (Read all the way to the Bottom of this post for Exciting Shimmerz News!!!) on the heart, shirt and Prima Flower...

One of my New Year's Stamping resolutions is to decorate the Inside of my cards more often...

Supplies:
Stamps: Best Mates (The Greeting Farm,) Yo! Ho! Ho! (A Muse Artstamps,) Birthday Centers (CHF)
Papers: Eva (Basic Grey,) Textured CS (Archiver's,) White CS (PTI)
Ink: Graphite Balck (Brilliance,) Copic Markers, Purely Pomegranate (SU)
Misc: Button, Circle Nesties, Rustic Red Shimmerz, Prima Flowers, Ribbon
