Arrrgh


This card is for the new challenge on Scrappy Frog which is titled "Arrrgh". We decided we would to see what everyone could do using the same digital background from Dustin Pike. A link to the background can be found on the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog. I made a gate fold card so that I could get the background big enough for my stamped pirates. This is the outside of the card. One side of the polka dot paper lifts up and it opens out flat.


This is a picture of the inside when it is folded out. The background is in the middle with the two pirates (Ian and Anya from The Greeting Farm) and the sides feature a parrot and a treasure chest. This card uses a little bit of everything on it.The background and the barrel the parrot is sitting on are digital images from Dustin Pike printed out on my computer.




The parrot itself is from Cornish Heritage Farms along with the arrgh sentiment. I drew the treasure chest on my cricut using the cricut markers and the treasure chest from the Life Is A Beach cartridge. I then cut it and colored it with my copic markers to match the rest of the project. I then added some adhesive rhinestones to make it look like jewels spilling out of it.





If I am ever caught by pirates, I hope it's cute pirates like these too with a pink and black pirate ship and pink parrots flying around. Although, pirate Tilda didn't look too mean either these two look like they have a better ship.

I love your card. This was such a fun and unique take on the challenge. Very cool card for a pirate chick the boys can't have all the fun.
