Aaargh!

 I brought out this stamp set again to make this little scene for my great nephew.  Sponged the background added some white gel pen for waves in the water. I had to stamp the pirate again and color him and fussy cut him out to add his body and chest to the background, my coloring wouldn't cover up the sponging I had done.


 

  • Stampendous - Changito Pirates stamp set, colored w/markers, fussy cut pirate, chest and bird
  • Stampendous - Meadow Edge stamp (birds)
  • Sponged background with ink and added white gel pen for the waves

We are warming up today should reach 32 degrees today, and the sun is out, can't ask for more :)
Hope you all that have been suffering with the snow and cold get a little relief today also.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,

Connie

OMG how cute this is ... brought an instant smile! Love your inking and the white cap waves are perfect! Actually went up to 40 today and has melted most of the snow we had on the ground. To be in the 50s for New Years ... good grief, a 47 degree swing from Christmas to New Years ... and we wonder why people are sick! LOL Happy New Year my friend ... 2022 was not nice to me so I'm praying for a better 2023. Wishing you a wonderful upcoming year too!
