Bucket Shaped Card

I like to create shaped cards and wanted to create one that reflected end of Summer as well as a Pirate theme.

Used Life Is A Beach Cricut  cartridge & Gypsy to weld together the bucket shaped card. Had to try a few different sizes to get the size I wanted. Used actual size 6.7" x 5.5" so that the bucket opening would be wide enough.

Used photos of The Black Pearl & Captain Jack Sparrow of my Halloween styrofoam pumpkins my hubby carved years ago.

Used a Fresh Brewed Designs digi, Grace Beach Fun, that I won. Used markers to color the digi. I do believe my continuing practice is working ok for me.

Used K. Andrew Designs stamps Pirate Tales & Fish Scales and Splashtastic Summer.

Used Spellbinders to cut out the photos & digi. Used Spellbinders & Fiskars punch for sentiment tags. 

Photographed with some sea shells I found when I was in Pensacola, FL last mth.
