Pirate Skeleton Bday Card

Most of you know that I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow; thus I like anything Pirate.

Used Cricut for the Pirate Skeleton Captain. Added cotton to background for an eerie look.

Stamped sentiments.

Used Cricut for the Rum bottle.  Added Glossy accents to look like spilled Rum.

Added some doodling of 'XX' with a black marker which I thought separated the sentiments wonderfully.

Cricut cartridges: Buccaneer  3" Pirate Skeleton Captain   
   Pirates & Mermaids  1 1/2" Rum Bottle
