Hi! I'm here to show you a very fun little card. This one is for two challenges: DeNami Boy Theme Challenge, and Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Tangled Up (using twine). It's been about a year now since I've discovered DeNami stamps, and I did not own ONE single Chickie stamp until very recently! Don't get me wrong, they are the cutest little things, but I tend to lean toward the elegant/girly stamps, so the chickies were lower on my priority/wish list, lol. When I saw the Pirate Chickie for the first time, I thought I just had to get it because my husband gets such a kick out of pirates. I can't wait to give him a card with the pirate chickie, whether it's this one or a different one! I know he will just smile and laugh once he sees it--and who doesn't like to see their honey smile? ;-)
Ok, so here's what I did. The ship base is made from a Spellbinders Nesties Label Four die, cut in half the long way. Then I dry embossed it and inked up the edges slightly. For the ship's masts, I just hand drew the shapes and cut them out. I stamped each one with the DeNami Mini Starlet (it needed something--it was too plain with nothin' on 'em), and inked the edges. The light blue piece was dry embossed with a wavy folder. I glued the twine on that piece, then adhered the boat, then each mast was popped up with dimensionals. The chickies are colored with Prismacolor pencils, cut out and popped up. The finishing touch is the twine around the edge!! This was so fun to make! I hope I inspired you today :) I would love to hear your feedback--thanks for stopping by!
