The Pirates Have Landed

Hello.  Welcome.  I am pleased to report that Katie's mail box is still standing and her slightly delayed Card Chain Challenge card from me has landed safely.  Regarding the Card Chain Challenge.  I admit, I have been getting a bit sloppy and picking the friends option, which is fine, but Deborah has spent considerable time and brain power putting together all the options for the challenge and I felt I was not doing them justice.  So this month I was really gripped by the idea of the themes - Pirates, In the jungle, Friends.  And while I was at it let's go with the colours, and maybe I can work in the sketch as well.  In my excitement to send it I missed adding the metal charm I was going to use, but overall I was pleased to hit 5 of the options available this month.  OK, ready for this?  Bright warning........

I do love Kadoodles Pirate Dan and he hasn't been out for a while.  So here we are, friendly pirates in the jungle using the colours and the sketch (vaguely!!  Should have remembered the metal charm!!  Or coconuts.  Coconuts would have been great!!!).  The flowers and trees are Sizzix die cuts from the Tropical set.  I ripped a piece of card for my ragged flag banner and used Rubber Dance sentiment stamps.  Pirate Dan is coloured with promarkers, distress ink and gold pilot marker. 

You can check out the full reveal HERE.  Well worth a look.  Many awesome cards flew around the planet this month. 
If you want to play along the October sign up is open until October 6th.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
