Ahoy, Tilda!

Being a huge Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan, I have several items in my possession with skulls and pirate items on them. My daughter also loves skulls and crossbones. She had a pink skull birthday party last year and was a skull fairy for Halloween (picture is on the blog somewhere).So, it was only fitting that I try to turn Tilda into a Buccaneer! I figured spring Tilda would work pretty good because of her overalls and boots. I colored her overalls red, her boots black, and her shirt is white with black polka dots- perfect pirate attire. I cut a treasure chest on my cricut (paper dolls cartridge) for her to sit on, a little pirate flag for her to hold, and of course a pirate hat for her to wear. I used my starving artists beach background and matted it on some skull and crossbones paper. I pop dotted Tilda on the chest and added some jewels spilling out. The sentiment You're a Treasure is from Corninsh Heritage Farms. I plan on adding some more to the inside of the card, but this is as far as I've gotten so far. What do you think? Is she a convincing pirate? Can't you just hear her saying "ARRGH"?

I'm really trying to get all my new stamps inked up and used. I got this adorable Emma with surfboard ( CC Designs) and the same time I got the polka dot bikini one and it is equally as cute!


The beach background image came from starving artist stamps. They have a lot of really cute stamps! Now, I have to say that coloring landscapes is not my forte at all. I can barely color the people. I popped Emma up off the card to give her a little more dimension. She kind of looks like a giant, no wonder she's got the beach to herself. I had a lot of fun making my first scene card even if the dimensions aren't perfect. Her sentiment- take time to hear the ocean- is also from CC Designs.
