Ahoy there

Here's my card for my spot as Guest Bar Tender over at Raise the Bar where the theme this week is Movie Mania. I don't watch a lot of films and a couple of weeks ago I did a Harry Potter tag so as I love all the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies I decided to make a pirate themed easel card using Mo Manning pirate digi stamps


The sea and sky are brayered with some waves added with glitter. The next layer is Mo's palm trees coloured with promakers. I made the 'porthole' using Moonshadow Inks (love the piratey names for these - Jolly Roger Red, Bucaneer Bay Blue etc)  and distress inks and added another layer attached with antique effect brads. I then added the images 'Captain Hugh' and 'First mate Kate' who is sat on Mo's barrels (again coloured with promarkers). The front of the easel card is also coloured with moonshadow inks - I just cut the card to size and mopped the waste up with it, once it was dry I stamped it with a ships invoice stamp and a ship from the Stampman. The key, arrow and scull and crossbones are grungeboard shapes.

I'm also entering this card in to the following challenges:
Paper Sundaes: Make a Scene
Sophisticat - distressing
Cupcake - Childhood memories (I wonder if kids play pirates anymore?)
Cards for men - Fancy folds
Papertake challenge - Cutie pie
Stamp Something - Layered somethings

Thanks for looking, have a lovely weekend
