Ode to Captain Jack Sparrow

Ahoy maties! I be takin' this wee break from me week of Our Craft Lounge postin' t' show ye the card I be makin' for this week's Cinema Saturday Challenge! Arrr! So can you guess what the movie is this week?? LOL! That's right, Pirates of the Caribbean!! And I simply could not let another Johnny Depp movie pass me by without making a card!! Here's what I came up with... it wasn't intentional when I sat down to make it, but in the end I didn't include a bit of stamping!! I've had a package of grungeboard for probably a year now, sitting unopened in a drawer. Mark over at Deadbeat Designs went on a little rant recently about how useless it is, so I got it out, determined to make a card pairing it with his stamps to make him love it. But it turns out - I couldn't, I don't really get it either. But since it was already out, and I remembered the package I own has some skulls in it, I had to use it for my Pirates of the Caribbean card! I colored it white by rubbing my Craft ink pad over it. The heart is grungeboard too, covered in paper. There was a requirement this week to include beads, so that's where the random string of beads came from, LOL! I put the skull on a heart because as I've mentioned before, I do *heart* Johnny Depp - or in this case, Captain Jack Sparrow! I hurt my brain trying to come up with a sentiment for this card, and finally visited the Talk Like a Pirate site, where I found a section on pirate pickup lines!! LOL! In the section for lady pirates, I found "C'mon, lad, shiver me timbers!". HA! Now doesn't that just give this common pirate phrase all new meaning?? LOL! So, I thought it worked for my Captain Jack Sparrow card! :-) Ok now ye scurvy dogs, I be postin' this and movin' on - hearty thanks for stoppin' by me blog today!

  8. Love your card! The skull looks good (although I do agree the fuss over grungeboard is surprising!)and the beads fit right in.

  9. LIBBY!!!! You can't imagine what seeing my FAVE picture of Captain Jack do to me!!! I seriously almost melted off the couch!!! That picture gets me EVERYTIME!!!!

    I ADORE your card - and seriously - your pirate speak is awesome!!! LOVE the beaded work and the sentiment is beyond perfect (what a hilarious pick up line!! lol!!!)

    I am so glad that i have found another JD fan--- oh the dreaminess of it all!!! I want a johnny depp cake for my birthday - is that asking for too much - but i suppose not everyone wants to eat a johnny depp cake! (i say - don't eat cake - then there's more for me - but I say that in my head :)

    Anyhooooo - sorry for all the rambling - my whole point being that I ADORE this card and YOU and wanted to thank you SO much for playing along with us!!!

    Sending you BIG BIG hugs!!!
    LOTS of love,
    Sankari :)
