I have been busy cleaning out the old house getting it ready for renters so I have not been able to stamp this week yet.
I made this card Sunday night, but because I can't get a good pic of my cards at night in the new house, I wasn't able to upload it. Well, I finally was able to get a good pic of it today so here I am uploading it!!
This is for Viva la Verve's Week 1 Sketch Challenge with a twist and for High Hopes Challenge #13 where we were to incorporate dry embossing into your creations.
I used High Hopes Stamps stamps for my images. I colored my main image with PrismaColors and Mineral Spirits. I dry embossed the red panel with a Cuttlebug embossing folder then went over it with ink to make it stand out.
The Viva la Verve twist was to use hardware. Brads were considered hardware. I used many gold brads to go along the the gold in the treasure box.

I love this pirate card! Great use of the CB folder and I am awed by the difference that sponging around the edges of the cardstock makes - so much richer! If I come to your house, will you teach me to stamp like you? :-)
