Brandon has a birthday party to go to, so out comes Ahoy Matey. I seem to use this set for all the boy birthday cards.
I painted the map with my paint brush and re-inkers. I colored in the pirate with markers. Do you like my scallop circle? I thought the normal scallop looked to much like a flower, so I used Mary Jo's technique. She punches the scallop, and then puts the card stock back in the punch, turns it a little, and then punches it again. Isn't that a GREAT idea?
I do not know whether you can see from the picture, but I stamped Linen and Striped background with river rock ink on the kraft layer.
Stamps: Ahoy Matey, Linen, Striped
Inks: Basic Black, River Rock
Paper: Old Olive, Blue Bayou, Kraft, Whisper White
Extras: 1-1/4", 1", and Scallop circle punches, paint brush, re-inkers, markers, dimensionals.

Yes, you like this set, but I don't get tired of seeing your creations with it :) You color so well. My SU! consultant (Sue Hyer)taught me that scallop circle technique. You may already know this, but to get a nice 4" small scallop trim you can use the scallop circle punch. Check it out here:
