Morning everyone
Hope you are all well and getting some crafty time for yourselves. Although we are not officially doing a countdown today as it is release day, I couldn’t resist one more!! This card features Pirates At Play, and it is a larger set, so really great for creating a little scene.
I began by masking off an area to create my sand and then I softly applied Antique Linen distress ink, gradually building the colour up but not going too deep with it.
I then created masks for the pirate, chest and parrot and set about stamping and masking the little scene. I used Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp my images as it is Copic friendly. If you don’t like masking, there are coordinating dies available for this set.
I left the masks on and took my Radiating Rays stencil and applied Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks. I wanted it to do two things – I wanted it to be sun rays but also I wanted it to look as if the chest full of coins was shining very brightly because of all the gold inside!
I removed the masks and the coloured the images with Copics (colours listed below in the supplies section). I put the whole panel back in the MISTI and stamped the greeting with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and added a few coats of glossy accents to the beak and sword which you can see in the picture above. I also used my Sakura Black Glaze gel pen on her eyes, so that they stand out a little.
Lastly I mounted the whole panel onto some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. This card is A2 (American sized). I think this is a really adorable set – there are many cute scenes to be made with barrels, chests, parrots, flags. So much fun!
Thank you as always for joining me today. I wish you a great week ahead!

Another cute card, Lisa ! I wouldn’t mind to meet pirates if they were as adorable as this little one (and Johnny Depp of course !)
Once again you played your magic with the colouring and your design. This little scene reminds me so much the Pirates Playmobil that my son used to play with ! I understand you couldn’t resist to play once more with the new CB stamp sets. They all are adorable ! Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring throughout these introduction days. Hugs xx
