Lets Play Pirates

I wanted to join in with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge but this time the theme is nautical. I was really struggling, I had very little inspiration. But came across this little gem of a digital stamp by Di's Digital Stamps while looking for something I could use on my studio door sign. 

The image is on grass and has a tiny ladybird in the bottom left corner but with a ocean around the boat and some carefully positioned die cutting I think I have hidden these.

I tried to give the card base a tropical sunset feel.

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner

Cardmaking Tutorial

To begin Icut a piece of card with the stitched rectangle nesting die. 

 Using the Fired Brick, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade and Dried Marigold distress Ink tI formed a Ombre effect which I hoped to give me a sunset feel.

The circle was then die cut from this

The sentiment on your special day was heat embossed

The image was coloured and glued behind the sunset set

This was then glued onto the card base
