International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Let's celebrate! Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day and I couldn't think of a more fitting way to celebrate than with a card using the beautiful  images from Plate #36 - Soft Goth Night, Caribbean Treasure and Unregrettable Pirate Life.


This card measures 6" x 6". Copics were used for the coloring, paper is Scenic Route and DCWV. It's embellished with Prima flowers and found objects. The sentiment inside was printed using Blackadder ITC - 36pt font.

Copic colors:

  1. Color the Caribbean Treasure image using the baby skin pink and blush for the skin and mouth, rose red and shock pink for the tail and eyes,  canary and cadmium yellow for the hair, gold on the treasure and chest, the clothing, and the pile of rubble and tattoo are warm gray no. 1, 3, and 5,
  2. Color the Unregrettable Pirate Life image using pinkish white and pale cherry pink for the skin, cardinal for the tail and lips, canary yellow for the sun, gold on the clothing, belt and hat embellishment, to color the hair use the warm gray colors, and the chain and eyes are warm gray no. 5.
  3. Color the Soft Goth Night image with the eggshell and powder pink for the skin, rose red and shock pink for the rose, tattoo and lips, Nile green on the leaves, the tail is blue green and the clothes are colored with the cool shadow and ice ocean.
