This card is for Al who likes bright colors, puns, and pirates - to name just a few things.
The background was created with various colors of color bursts and then the compass rose from Go Global and the anchor from Guy Greetings was stamped repeatedly.
I die cut the waves and the word bubble. I assembled the pirate owl using the owl builder punch. The boat was made by stamping hardwood and then fussy cutting. I didn't have a pattern for the boat or sails, I just winged it. I sponged the sails and the word bubble.
I hand wrote the sentiment which I found by searching for Pirate puns. Inside the answer is "They think, therefore they ARRRR!!!!!" Hopefully this will make Al chuckle.
Thanks for looking.

OK, where to start. (I'm reminded of the How do I love thee, let me count the ways sonnet) First, the background is terrific, both the color and the images. Second, you did an amazing job on that boat and sails. It could easily have been a die cut. Third, I love the owl pirate. the little peg leg, the tiny squares holding on his eye patch and, best of all, half of the owl body as a bandana. So clever! And last but not least, the sentiment. So, so funny! I can't think of a single person who wouldn't love this card.
