Ahoy Matey - A Witch and a Pirate Ship!

I have two cards to share with you today -  both made for Split Coast Stampers Challenges, and both made with Waltzingmouse Stamps.

First up is a Halloween card I made for this week's featured stamper - I cased this fun 'boo' card of DaisyFreak's.  The stamps are from one of Claire's newly released sets -  Cicely at Halloween.

I colored Cicely to coordinate with the fun dots patterned paper behind her and I got to use my fun Martha Stewart Halloween fence punch that I bought last year dirt cheap at the end of the season!  There are little bats on the centers of the longer posts that you can't see to well on this pic.  I added a little bling to the front of her ankles, hat buckle and wand tip!

My second card was made for the Inspiration Challenge which was the web site Modern Lola.  I was inspired by this fun pirate ship.
And here's the card I created.  I used a Disney Pirate Ship die from Provo Craft.  Die cutting it once in blue and once in white.  Then I cut the white sail section (they're all connected) off the white die cut, colored black stripes on the sails and colored the poles  brown and adhered them over the blue die cut with foam tape.

The sentiment and star are from Half Pint Heroes. (A great kids card stamp set!)

That's it from me today!   Thanks so much for stopping by!
