Sassy Pirate

DH and I LOVE to go to the Texas Renn Fest every year and as soon as I saw this image I went right to those memories and now can't wait for fall when we get to go this year. I will be using her for sure on some scrapbook pages for that festival! You will be able to get her on August 1st when all of the Fairytale line will be released at Sassy Studio Designs (SSD).

For now though I decided to create cards with her. Today you get to see the first one. When I think pirates I think treasure maps, and their treasures of course ;) I googled images of maps, found one I liked and saved it. Then I resized it in Photoshop before I printed it out. Once printed I distressed it for age (the image I just sponged some distress ink to age it). and layered it over some vanilla cardstock that I also distressed. I stamped and embossed the Print Pattern stamp from Stampin' Up for give the background some life, but not take away from the Pirate Princess image. I had a lot of fun coloring her. I added flock to her feather, shimmerz to her vest and red stipe on her pants, crystal effects to her sword and boot buckles and the chest, liquid pearl to the 'pearls' and gold stickles to the handle on the sword and the coins.



Remeber there is a challenge going on over at SSD this week (ends July 31st) and the wonderful Lindsey is even offering a FREE digi image to help with the challenge.
