Pat is hosting this weeks teaparty for young 7 year old Carson. He recently lost his mum to Cystic Fibrosis. Our brief is to send Christmas cheer.
I seem to be operating in slow motion this week, could be the weather - it's 40C/104F here today and it's going to be hotter on Friday LOL. Not really sure why I'm laughing.
Christmas will be well and truly over by the time my card would get to the USA, so I thought a Pirate in the mail, arriving early January just might do the trick.
The background is from my stash - squirt Dylusion ink spray on alfoil, squirt on a lot of water, dunk cardstock in said inky water. Once dried I applied glitter. At some point this background was made for a snowy scene, but it works just as well for the ocean.
I coloured the image with pencils, replaced the skull and crossbones from the top flag and stuck on Carson's name. Sadly I amputated one of his ears, Vincent the Pirate sounds good to me.
Thank you for looking and I hope you have a happy inky week.

Ahoy Captain!! That's a cheerful card for Carson and about his ear you see what he's holding in his hand a sharp knife... about the weather I hope the fires are under control now in Australia

Oh my gosh! Vincent and his pirate kitty are just brilliant! And that sea spray is stunning even if it was supposed to be snow. You know every time you guys write something about the heat in the winter or the cold in the summer it just blows my mind. HA! But I have been seeing those devastating wildfires on the news. How awful. I hope things cool off for you all soon.
