Here's my card for two challenges. The first one is Teapot Tuesday for James who loves pirates and dogs. The second challenge is today's ways to use it challenge to make a card using school tools. I used paper which there are many crumpled up in schools and a map with a compass rose. I also used another school tool, the computer to find and print out the map and image.
This was an image from the internet that I distressed with Linen, tea, and walnut distress inks. I crumpled up the paper then ran the walnut stain on the edges to make it look torn or burned. I hope little James likes this card.

Such a creative card for this "School Tools" theme, Sue! I had to giggle at your description of many crumpled papers...how I remember those long forgotten crumpled papers stuffed in the back of desks!

What a great card - love how you did all that distressing and the embossing looks like it it the netting on the ships to go fix the sails. I'm sure there is a proper pirates name for it, but I hope you know what I mean. Well done!!
