Pirate's Cove

Hello!  It's Anita from Landlockedislandgirl Blog !  Every Halloween, our cul-de-sac transforms into Pirate's Cove!!  Hundreds of neighborhood kids come to our court to watch the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman battle it out.  Last year, we had over 1200 trick-or-treaters.  It's truly a labor of love and it inspired this months project.

I started by printing out 2 parchment pages from the Buccaneer cart.  I cut around the edges of the paper to give the appearance of a treasure map.  I backed both on plain 12x12 black cardstock.  All of the paper and embellishments were printed and cut from Buccaneer on my Imagine.  The font used in the Pirate's Cove title were cut from Blackletter at 2 1/4 inches and shadowed on my E2.
 

All of the embellishments were popped up, using pop dots.  I finished the pages off with random dotted lines that I drew freehand with a black, fine point Sharpie from the ship to the X on the opposite page.

 

The flags were cut at 4.5" the 2nd flag was flipped.

Crow's nest was cut at 4.5"
Skeleton Pirate was cut at 4.8"
The "X " was cut at 3"
Ghost Ship was cut at 4.3"
Crab was cut at 2"

 I hope everyone has a safe  Halloween!
