So this is what I fitted in today amid the excitement. I started the background for the challenge at Mark's Finest Papers where they want die-cut designs. I used Spellbinders Gold Circle 1 die set. All of it. First time I've used this so wasn't sure what I was going to get. Some of the dies cut and some just emboss. So just to see I used all at once and ended up with a lovely detailed doily cut from one of my brusho backgrounds.
So I have the pretty doily and I added Kadoodle Pirate Dan. He is coloured with Promarkers and watercolour. I stamped DRS Script Happy Birthday and black embossed.
On my purple base card I stamped DRS Interlocking Squares and embossed with dark green powder. I cut Cheery Lynn Compass and placed behind the doily. The corners are Cheery Lynn Mini Rum Punch doily cut in 4. It seemed a bit unfinished so I tried this....
I smudged the edge of the card with Versamark and embossed with Wintergreen Pastel embossing powder. I've had this so long and hardly used it. I was afraid it might be dead, but it melted just fine. Must use these bright colours on darks more often.

Cute pirate card! Thanks for joining us this week with Cheery Lynn Designs!
Love the colors you put on the die cut and that pirate is fun! Wonderful card!!!
Very pretty die cut result. Love the image. Thank you for sharing with us at MFP SF&F Challenge.
You have certainly created a unique design by your layering processes, Gail! And, who would have thought that a pirate and doily would work so well together?! Nicely choreographed!
I have to say I didn't "get" the Gold dies and I'm still unsure if they would be any good for me. The embossed circle has some lovely colours though, a great backdrop to the pirate.
Arrrrrrh! Great job , thanks for playing with us at MFP SFF>>>>>>>>>Lis

A great card for a little pirate.
The the pirate card. I don't think embossing powder can go bad, can it? I've had stuff for more than 12 years. Thanks for sharing at MFP's Speedy Fox and Friends.
