Welcome to Festive Friday #FF0192 where we are celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day! My card features the Sunrise Sailing bundle with a bold red & black sailboat. I love the stormy-looking background created from a piece of the Botanical Textures papers.
Here is a close up of just one of the great ships you can create with the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

One of my favorite stamps is the one that creates the wave or reflection of the boat.
Here is our Inspo List that was inspired by this holiday. We hope this list will challenge you to create a card based on this theme. Your project doesn’t have to have anything to do with the holiday! There is a new Festive Friday Challenge every other week.

To play along with us just use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up to the #festivefridaychallenge. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me (lorraine@chatncraftwithlorraine.com) and I’d be happy to help you!
