Crafts Galore Encore July 2015 Challenge

Good morning all. Mother Nature has finally decided to send some sun to us here in the UK. That means that most of us Brits will now spend our time getting sunburnt and complaining about the heat. I'm sure we'll cope though.
As it's the first of July it's time for a new challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules are on the challenge blog.
Our theme this month is
"Use A Stamp Or Digi Anywhere On Your Project"
It doesn't have to be the main focus, just somewhere on your project.
We are being sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K who are offering two digis each for our two winners. Please pop over to the Kenny K shop to have a look at all the wonderful images. There is something to suit everyone.
Kenny K were very generous and gave the DT a selection of digis to use. This is the image I chose to work with and the card I made for it.

I started by covering an 8"x 8" card base with royal blue card and adding a paper with a background scene from Kraftyhands Pirate Island CD. The little gulls and anchor are die-cuts.

This wonderful image is called Li'l Pirate and was so much fun to colour with my Copics and Promarkers. I then fussy cut her and mounted her on foam pads.

The pirate ship was cut out using an X-cut Build A Scene die set and assembled with foam pads. The 'Ahoy There' is from the same set.

I printed a small map onto card and inked with Brushed Corduroy DI before curling the edges. I added a small X to mark where the pirate's treasure is buried.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the fabulous creations from my wonderfully talented team mates.
We look forward to seeing your crafty makes using a stamp or a digi image on your project.
 If you would like to be a Guest Designer on our team please add GDT after your name on your entry.
