Talk Like a Pirate Day Gift Set

I could not possibly let this glorious holiday pass this year without creating something for it! Hanna Stamps has just too many cool images with Pirates. First off there is Riley Moose dressed as a pirate: HERE, and then there is the Hanna Pirate set, which is just awesome!!!

For more information on this amazing and silly holiday: CLICK HERE

I made this set for my sweet hubby, M! First off, there is the mini trunk (complete with chocolate gold nuggets inside) and a pirate flag to warn off enemies. The treasure chest came from Michaels, I colored it with copic markers and added the gold detail using my Krylon gold leafing pen.

Secondly, I thought it would be fun to put a message in a bottle and I came up with the idea of a pirate vocabulary list in a bottle (to help those who don't talk like this every day to be more pirate like). Of course, Michaels and JoAnn's did not have just the right size bottle, so I scrolled it up in a roll and tied it with a brown ribbon.

Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day matey's . . . hope you find lots of ways to add extra pirate vocab words into your vocabulary today . . . it really is a lot of fun!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
