distressed pirate map

Photo Details

Poster: geojlc

Cased the pirate map from somewhere here on SCS. Wheeled, let dry, crumpled, tore, colored with WCC and then aquapainter, lightly sponged over with creamy caramel (and sponged edges). The caramel background is sponged with caramel and then lightly distressed along the edges. (same with the vanilla that the pirate is stamped on).

'ahoy matey' is craft white but would look better with craft vanilla if I had it...

This card really caught my eye. I love the map at the top. It's not a set that appealed to me in the catalogue, but your card is changing my mind. I love how you've used it! You arr so talented ;-)

This card is way too cute. I wish I had a reason to buy this set, but I don't have any little boys or girls to make this for.
