Pirate Josh and Parrot
Sweet Sketch 102-43


Ahoy Mate!  I would like to take you away on a pirate's trip.  You might see a creature or two not of your liking!  And at times the sea is not for weak of heart and mind!

Welcome blog friends and followers!  Of course, it is Sweet Sketch Wednesday again!  And I enjoyed creating this Pirate card for you!  You may already know that this is an image from
 I always love Sally Ann's images and had to try my hand at creating with this Pirate Josh and Parrot.  With my Copic markers I tried to create a wood deck look on an old pirates ship.  I also had the MS Crab punch that I wanted to incorporate into the card!  So I used some jute to make some rolled up rope with the crab crawling over it!  I punched him out in SU Pumpkin Pie cardstock and inked him up with SU Real Rust and then added Glossy Accents to his shell.  However, when I added the gloss the effect of the Real Rust almost disappeared.  But even with a few bubbles in the gloss it added some dimension to the crab's shell.  Then I figured the old pirate might see a few clams so I added the pearls that might be in his treasure box!
Hope you like it!


Now remember if you play along this week at SSW, you will have a chance to win
6 free digis of your choice
 if you are the Weekly Winner!  So why not play along!  Stop by Digi Stamp Boutique to see what images you might like to create with!  Also take a peek at SSW and enjoy some sweet inspiration from the SSW Design Team!


This is the sketch that you will use for this week's challenge at SSW!
I know you are wondering why the Sketch says Sketch 102-43.  Well, this is the 102 week at SSW but starting this month we will be highlighting some of our past sketches.  This sketch is Sketch 43.  Don't you just love that we can enjoy some of Arlana's past sketches and still enjoy her new creations?
