A Masculine Pirate Birthday Card ~ Nadine Carlier

Did you know that Sept. 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day? To celebrate I thought I would make a masculine pirate birthday card.

I first took a piece of kraft cardstock and burned all the edges of it. You have to be careful when doing this to not burn more than you want, so I would just do one edge at a time. Blow it out and then burn a little bit more until all edges were burnt.
I then crinkled up the cardstock piece into a ball and then flattened it back out again and then sprayed it with some Walnut Spray and then adhered it to the front of my card base using my Xyron Mega Runner.

For the stamps, I used Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps J. Sparrow, Pirate's Rum Bottle, and Treasure Map and stamped them all with Memento Ink Tuxedo Black and colored them in with Copic Markers.
The map and rum bottle I used my Xyron Mega Runner and adhered them down. For the pirate, I used some foam squares behind him.

For the sentiment, I used Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps Make A Rum Cake Stamp. I stamped it on white cardstock and I free hand cut it out to give it a jagged edge. Then I inked up the edges and blended some of the ink to the front to distress it up some and give it a dirty look. Then I used foam squares to pop it up.

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps also wants to help everyone celebrate Talk Like A Pirate by offering
