Best Mateys!

Happy First Monday of June! 

I'm starting off the week with a great summer time image from Jan's Digital Stamp Shop as we open the June Challenge Blog. 

Newly Released, I've used Jan's "Pirate Life" for my inspirational card for today. 

I thought her sentiment 'Best Mateys', would be perfect for two little girls. (Although the one on the right could easily be a little boy!)

I sized the image to just under 5" tall and after printing, colored it with my Copic markers. 

I used Tattered Lace, Hemstitch Squares for the die cut decorative edges.  I found the pink striped paper that I thought would go well with the design, but only had one piece (6" square).  I could have done the clouds a different way but really wanted to stay within that pattern.  So I simply die cut the clouds out of the center of the 6" square and was still able to use the square for the card matting.  I  also used a gold metallic pen to fill the treasure chest. 

The card base was 6 1/2" x 5 1/2".  After securing the mat, I added the completed image in the center and then the pink striped clouds.

Finally I added the pink organza ribbon with an anchor charm for the final touch. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
