Pirate Birthday

 I can never have enough masculine themed Birthday cards in my stash. I have brothers, nephews and friends with little boys who I love to give Birthday cards to.

During January the High Hopes Design team will be sharing creations that follow a love and Birthday theme. This is perfect as I need to add to my Birthday card stash and fast! This week I have combined a number of High Hopes stamps to create a fun pirate scene using "On Guard Oberto, The Thundering Rogue and the Wave Border". Hopefully one of my nephews will like this one. 

I stamped and coloured all of my stamps with Copic Makers, and then hand fussy cut Oberto. Using a cloud die and baby blue ink I added some clouds to the background and added some hand drawn birds just for fun. 

The ship stamp comes with some waves along the bottom but I wanted to extend them so using my Misti was able to line up the wave border to make my waves go further. On Guard Oberto is popped up using some foam pop dots to add some dimension to the card.

I found the perfect matching sentiment, stamped and mounted it on matching cardstock and put it on an angle across a corner for some added interest. 

Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.
