Happy Thoughts & Inkspots: Party Like a Pirate

Happy Monday! I hope that it has been a good start to the week for you. Even while on Summer vacation, I have a hard time with Mondays!

I have a fun trifold card to share with you. Recently, I have seen these popping up on my instagram feed and I really like the fact that you can create quite an intricate scene as you have 3x the usual amount of space. I enjoy the fact that they can also be folded up neatly and mailed off in a standard A2 size enveope! However, this particular card was not mailed as it was made for my youngest boy’s recent birthday!

I used MFT stamps Party Like a Pirate Stamp and coordinating Die set to create this card. I also used some landscape dies from Mama Elephant as well as the nifty and quite amazing new Mini Cloud stencil from MFT. This thing makes creating fluffly clouds an absolute breeze (sorry about the pun)!

Due to the sheer volume of time it took to color all these images, I did not show all of them in the video. So, as promised, I am listing each image panel by panel along with the copic markers I used for each one:

Although this card took more time to complete than a standard one panel card, it truly was worth the extra time and the mile long smile of the recipient :)
