Manly Monday Pirate Cards


This card was made for Craft Roulette #256 and I had enough pieces to make a second one. The parameters were a 5 x 7 card, hippie colors, the element was an island and random wood. 
The part above is straightforward. Except for the island is more of a figurative meaning the treasure chest made of wood is on an island. I put brown distress ink under the treasure chest to represent the beach that you would find on an island. The fun part about this card is the wavy paper was a graduation open house invitation. I hate throwing those things away. It was nice to use this one for a card.
I made the boat with my Cricut.  
Supplies: the stamps are by Close to My Heart. I colored in the images with Copic markers. The sparkly bits are by Fun Journey Stampers. 


This one has similar elements except for the key on the bottom is unknown. It’s pretty bulky and will probably require extra postage. Even with it, I fear that the key will come off when it goes through the mail. 
The fun thing about this card is what was behind it…


It's also an upcycled piece of paper that was an advertisement I received in the mail. I used it for the backside and covered up my address. 
Thanks for looking.
