Ahoy, Mates!! When MFT opened their vault a week or so ago and pulled out the adorable "Party Like a Pirate", I just HAD to buy it!! It's one of those sets that is so cute and I was sad when it retired. Well, here it was again, and even though I've been very good about not buying new stash, I snatched it up. I got the package last week and as you can see I didn't waste any time inking it up. At the same time, I also purchased these wave dies as well as another set of underwater dies. I was definitely going with an ocean theme. I also bought the Launch Party die set which you will see in action farther down in the post.
. . . imagine their shock when they see a second one leaping out of the water! Check out the look on the little girl pirate's face! Mid-September is "Talk Like a Pirate Day" which was the inspiration for this card. I made it as a fun birthday card for our retired pastor. I added the third pirate from the set to the inside of the card in a pale gray ink and added two birthday sentiments.
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT "Party Like a Pirate" and "Friends with Fins" (orcas); PTI "Big Birthday Wishes" main sentiment inside
Dies: MFT "Launch Party" interactive die set, sun die and "Ocean Motion" die-namics; Lawn Fawn "Stitched Hillsides"
Taylored Expressions cloud stencil
