This is a quick post, I feel like Anneka Rice against the clock! I hadn't realised the the current A Gem Of A Challengefinishes today.
We had a sketch to follow, and here is my entry.
I was lucky enough to win some digi stamps in a Pink Gem blog hop recently, and this is one of the stamps I won. He's lovely isn't he? This is the first time I have used a digi stamp, the first time I printed him he filled a A5 sheet, lol. I printed him onto watercolour paper, left the image for a couple of days to make sure the ink was properly dry, and then watercoloured him using Lyra Aquacolours.
I gave him little rosy cheeks because I'm sure all pirates have rosy cheeks! He's sitting on some gorgeous pearlescent cardstock which has been die-cut using a Marianne's die. The backing paper is printed from Crafters Companion Boys cd-rom, and the border has been cut out of the same paper using my fab new spellbinders fleur de lis die. I embossed some pearlescent paper using a cuttlebug die, then added some buttons from my stash.
Phew! Stop the clock!!!!

I have him as a rubber stamp, isn;t he cute. I love that die cut he is mounted on. You did make me smile re the size when you first printed him. Wel done for managing the deadline. I hate it when you finish a card only to find the challenge has closed. Marianne x
