Tanda Pirates Revisited

I have been playing with the Tanda Stamps Pirates Set 1 and 2 again today. The above card has been made using a resist technique for the background piece using some turquoise and yellow dye inks. The main pirate image has been coloured with Prisma pencils and gamsol and mounted on a piece of card embossed with the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder.

For the second card I hauled the sewing machine out for five minutes and added some wave-like stitch lines to the patterned paper. The ships wheel has been stamped in a dark turquoise ink, cut out and mounted with 3D foam pads onto a wavy embossed strip of card decorated with some fine string cross stitches.

My first day back at work went with a steady pace and was not too strenuous, mainly due to needing a new profile before I could start which took them about 4 hours to sort out!

I have an earlier start today as I am going to sit my first exam for this European Computer Driving Licence that I am doing. Just need to get in a spot of revision before I go in.

Wish me luck!

These are fab cards - I especially like the second one - the wavy stitching looks really neat.
