I had so much fun doing this scene card. I stamped 'me pirate on watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx black. I then drew a dock for him to stand on, a coastline, and the horizon line with a waterproof black marker. I colored using my Tombow pens (a water-based marker) and spread the color with water on a wc brush. I did the parrot separately and cut him out, then glued him down onto Oberto's shoulder.
For the striped paper, I took striped tissue paper that Tabi wrapped my new blouse in, crumpled it up, and ironed it onto freezer paper.
I used Cammie's idea for a hinged card and used brads to hold them down with the ship's wheel that I had cut out.
I stamped the treasure map four times, crumpled the paper in my hands, tore the edges, then sponged on Memories Chestnut brown dye ink. It is raised up with double sided foam tape.
All these stamps are by High Hopes and are this month's POTM. TFL!
