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.

Mermaid Birthday Card

Created the Mermaid using Pirates & Mermaids Cricut cartridge. There are 2 very teeny tiny pieces: one for the eye & one for a strand of hair (at least I think that is what the 2nd piece is since it is a side view of the Mermaid 2 eyes would not be seen and there is a cut near the shoulder for placement). Used a sketch you can see below. Added a wobble to back of Mermaid.

Wobble action:
