Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow Birthday Card













Created this Pirate Birthday card using several
things. Used artwork created by my daughter of
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Used
core'dinations Tim Holtz Distress cardstock.
Tore
paper for a distressed look.
Used lots of Tim Holtz
Distress Ink. Used K Andrew Pirate Tales & Fish
Scales stamps for the birthday sentiment on front
of card. Used Life's a Party Cricut cartridge for the

image on the inside of the card.

You can see sketches done by my daughter on my
blog sidebar of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow,
a fav film of mine.

I won the K Andrew Pirate Tales & Fish Scales stamps
and this is my first time using them.

This is my 2nd time to use the Life's a Party Cricut
cartridge. There are several wonderful images on this
cartridge.

Photographed the card outside on the fort swing set
that hubby built when daughter was younger. I like
to climb the ramp and photograph birds.













Inside of card:













My daughter found this image on the Internet
and emailed it to me yesterday.
