A Matey!! Argg!!

Hi Everyone! well today's card features an image from The Greeting Farm. I bought this set a couple of months ago and now had a chance to ink it up. My nieces birthday is today and my in- laws are having a party for her tonight. So she likes pirates.. so perfect..LOL! and I like doing sketch challenges and haven't branched out to color challenges (I'm to scared) WELL my SIL was the first to hand me my first color challenge because my niece likes Turquoise and second color brown..O BOY!... I decided to buy her some books because she likes to read, that led me to go through the sketch challenges with SCS and I found this sketch # SC06 and I thought it was perfect. She can take out the bookmark and use it :) I did not want an empty spot when she takes out her bookmark so I put the boy pirate behind the bookmark. The DP is from Basic Grey (Blush) The bookmark itself I made with BG DP to be able to fit Anya. You just have to click on the pictures so you can check out these cool brads I had in my "stash." The skull on the bottom is Tim Holtz Grungeboard that I covered with Copper stickles. Around the card base which is the new in color from SU (Bermuda Bay) I paper pieced. Almost all the ribbon is from CTMH. I won't even tell you that I used my Dew Drops..LOL!! Well that's it :) Have a great Friday!!!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!
