This is my tribute card that I will be mailing to Markie's Mom since she is today's Featured Stamper. Wonderful gallery, wonderful stamper!!
Here is the card I cased:
1. Okay, I was bound and determined to make a pirate ship. The only draw back? No pirate stamps whatsoever! Arrrrgh!
2. Using the horizontal slot punch, I punched out all those little do-dads and glued them on the boat separately. Arrrrgh!
3. There comes a time with certain cards that the stamper is no longer in control. This was one of those cards. Arrrrgh!
4. It's plain to see whose in control here, the boat! I was not driving the bus, the boat was driving the bus! Arrrrgh!
4. This card ended up being 6 X 6 (well.....plus whatever is sticking out over the top!) because I was not in control. I fought long and hard to get Markie's Mom's layout of the card I cased in....see it, it's there, it's under the boat, the boat that's in control! Arrrrgh!
5. It was my destiny to make this card for Faith. Yesterday at Walmart I found this cute little rhinestone skull and crossbones, my first thought was, someday this will come in handy. I bought it cuz yesterday I was in control! Used it the next day! How cool is that!
Arrrrgh! Arrrrgh! Arrrrgh! Arrrrgh!

Ok, so this time I'm not going to ask you how you ever thought to do a pirate card (I read the challenge first this week!!!)
It took me quite some time to see how your card came from Faith's sample you linked - I went back and forth 3 times!! but then I could discern way in back behind the boat - the panels JUST LIKE FAITH's!
wonderful case - I'm sure she will be very thrilled when this ship sails in!!
PS. I cannot believe that you punched out all those slots and glued them on the boat!!! I hope you have more control tomorrow!

Well, Matey, you have done it once again. Another awesome card.
When I first looked at the challenge. my first thought was, "Wonder what Cindy can come up with for this one"? I knew it would be good. Love your awesome clouds with the birds flying to tell their friends about your awesome boat, the cb sails and your crossbone flag. I believe the Captain"s gonna like this.
