Framed Ahoy Matey's Map

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 271 - Dusty Razzleberry Saffrons and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 273 - I've Been Framed. I have not played with this set for quite some time now and felt like it was time to dust it off and use it. I used the Matey Wheel for the background inked with dusty durango on vanilla cs. My framed image is stamped in black tuxedo Momenta ink then colored with copics. I omitted the image ontop of the chest and replaced it with the other parrot. My sentiment is stamped in so saffron then dusty durango. I distressed the edges of the durango base for last Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 270 - Edge Distresser. My sentiment and framing are popped up on dimensionals.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Ahoy Matey, Matey's Map
Paper: vanilla, dusty durango, so saffron
Ink: dusty durango, so saffron, black tuxedo
Accessories: dimensionals, google eye
Techniques: Framing, Edge distressing

Beware Pirates, It's Faux Suede

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE. I combined it with Tuesday's Doubledog Dare Challenge hosted this week by my dear sweet friend JDMOMMY where she challenges us to make a masculine card with no flowers or ribbons :0 what?. I also used Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Mellow Whites and my mellow moss for panel 2b was separated after distressing for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Faux Suede. I made this in about 15 min which is a record for me. I heat embossed the pirate image on kraft using white kraft ink and white EP. I used the opposite side of a mellow moss piece of cs that I separated Tuesday for the TLC. Hope you like it. I am off to another early day at work. Gggggrrrr
RECIPE:
Stamps: Beware Pirates - SU
Paper: white, kraft, mellow moss
Ink: white craft ink, mellow moss
Techniques: Faux Suede

Matey's Hinged Pirate Birthday Carrrrd

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Hinged Card. Lynn you are sooo right, I will be making more of these. I love this TLC. I started out trying for a western card and ended up going to sea with my High Hopes Pirate collection. I used Outlaw dp and coordinating cs. I stamped the ships wheel in sadle brown ink, colored with copics then cut it out and popped it up. The large brown brad is going through it and the cs for my hinge. The Treasure Chest is also stamped in sadle brown and colored with copics. Then I used some gold glitter glue and white pearl drops to accent the treasure pieces. My border punch is Fiskars Rope design. This is matted and popped up. I stamped Stampin' Ups Matey's Map on the sage shadow top portion. I am lovin' this card and can't wait to give it to someone. Here is a pic of this closed. So glad you hopped over here. Leave some evidence if you wish. I thrive on suggestions and comments. Have a grrrreat Memorial Day. Hay this can be for all the sailors out there! Watch out for those pirates though they can be cruel sometime.

On Guard Oberto CASE

Happy Easter Everyone. This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER CHALLENGE - Inge, for Saturday's STAMPING VACATION - Viva La Differnce Pop It Challenge my main image is up on dimensionals, and for today's CARD POSITIONING SYSTEM CHALLENGE - Sketch. I just love my High Hopes Images and was so happy to get these dirty. This time I CASEd Inge's AHOY card. I changed the colors, layout, left off the flowers, brads and distressing. I love everything in her gallery and it is so hard to not keep everything as she has it. My image was stamped in Esspreso ink then colored with copics. We recently went to Lake City for a battle and found a scrapbook store that I just had to stop at. While there I found this really kewl paper that looks just like a sheet of tin foil. I picked me and Shannon both a sheet. I stamped the sword on that paper then cut it out. Found out that even pigment ink will not stay on that paper when I started cutting but anyway I really love how it looks paper pieced. Sorry it does not show up well in the photo. Hope you like it too.
