Ahoy Matey!
Check out the Stamp of the Month for October at Cornish Heritage Farms. Oh my gosh…I think this is my favorite so far! And it’s not just a stamp. It’s a whole set…and it’s adorable!!!
You’re a Treasure
Six images, four sentiments…it’s called Ahoy Matey and it’s available tomorrow, October 1st.
This morning I was in the area of my kind-of-local scrap store and since I was so close, I just had to go in. I found this new Halloween paper by My Mind’s Eye called Spooked. I only got two sheets and now I wish I’d picked up several.
I randomly stamped the little skull on the star paper. (There’s also a bigger skull in the set.) The parrot is paper-pieced with the wing popped up. I masked all those little jewels and skulls in the birdbath. Glitter pens gave the jewels and earring lots of sparkle, and I used a clear gel pen over the skulls. The parrot’s hat and the birdbath are both embossed using Ranger’s Black Soot Distress embossing powder. I think that’s it! 
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
