Alicia Bel Challenge #14 - Don't Be Square!

Good Morning and welcome to the new challenge for the Alicia Bel Challenge Blog. This month we are challenging you to not be square, so we do NOT want to see square cards, instead other shapes!

I used a Go Kreate set of dies to make my card shape and went for a pirate theme for an alternative thank you card! I love this gorgeous Pirate of the Caribbean. One of my favourite films as well - who can resist that loveable rogue pirate, Jack Sparrow huh?!

This card is also for

All Dressed Up Challenge #36 Anything Goes

Good Morning and welcome to my post for the new challenge from All Dressed Up. As always our challenge is an Anything Goes one as long as you use one of Wendy's fabulous digis. You can purchase them from her etsy store here or there are a few freebies on the challenge blog here as well if you haven't yet got any.

I used the fantastic A Pirate's Life for my card this time and this makes such a great card for a little boy! I went for a mostly blue colour combo with touches of brown and red. I realised that I hadn't got any pirate themed sentiments so stamped my own and turned each word into a flag before adding them to a straw. Love how this one came out!

This card is also for

Treasure Your Day

I love this image from The East Wind and just had to use her for their Facebook Challenge Pirates. She was lots of fun to colour, although I'm not completely happy with her skirt, but oh well. Never mind! This card is also for Crafty Ribbons Challenge to make a birthday card with ribbon, A Creative Romance's Challenge to use Kraft card and for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge which is an Anything Goes challenge, but I didn't add the twist this time.

I don't actually have any map stamps or anything remotely related to pirates, ships or sailing, so had to improvise a little and use my steampunk corner dies and made a couple of little scrolls for mini maps!

Recipe:

Stamps: Lucy Loo Pirates from The East Wind, Birthday Postage Stamp Sentiments from Whimsy Stamps

Papers: Chocolate Chip, Neutrals DSP Stack (Retired) both from Stampin' Up, Kraft from Papertrey Ink, Copic X-Press It Blending Card, Gold Mirri Card from stash

Inks: Chocolate Chip from Stampin' Up, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain Distress Inks from Tim Holtz, Golden Star Gelly Roll Pen, Copic Markers

Accessories: Gold Baker's Twine from Stampin' Up, Filigree Border Die from Papertrey Ink, Steampunk Corner Die from La-La Land Crafts, Gold Ribbon from stash

Copics Used:
Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair - E13, E15, Y21, Y23
Coat & Bandana - E42, E43, E44
Feathers & Sword - Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28
Shirt - C00
Skirt - E71, E74, E77, E79

And that's all from me for today folks! Thanks for stopping by.

Treasure Your Day

Thought I would enter the Saturated Canary Facebook challenge this month with their sketch and their free digi, Tammi Buccaneer, which you can also get when you join their Facebook group - isn't she just gorgeous?! This card is also for Cupcake Inspirations' Challenge #260 to use the colours below. I actually used this colour combo for a DT card for Sketch Saturday which will come out next Saturday and it's a gorgeous combo - so bright and fresh! I'm also entering this card into Crafty Sentiments Anything Goes Challenge.

And here she is...Love how this one came out except for the parrot - he's a bit bland, but I have no stamps of parrots at all!
