This is the perfect stamp set for making my little grandson a birthday card. He is so into pirates. For his third birthday I made him a treasure chest and put some maps/treasures inside. I am using a piece cut off one of the canvas-type maps on this card which he will receive for his next birthday. The flag pole is part of a pirate ship die cut and I stamped the trunk again and cut out the skull to place on the flag. The canvas fabric for the sentiment came from Hobby Lobby. I've distressed around the image by curling/tearing some of the paper and inking with Distress Inks. The only coloring was the compass rose.

Great job distressing these pirate-y pieces, Benzi. They look very authentic!
This would be such a great set of a boys birthday party invite. Love the sentiment on the piece of linen! Well done :)
Wonderful card, Brenda and the canvas looks awesome. It looks like a pirate has staked out land on the map - I see the skull and crossbones!!

This is so creative and great for any age! Love how you made the map look ... so authentic! I know this will be a huge hit with your grandson and everyone else that gets to see it!
I was looking through my stamp stash and, darn, I don't have an elephant. LOL Have to admit that I do like the houndstooth embossing folder.
Wow, love the effect of the colored canvas on there! Very cool!
Great card buried treasure can be so much fun. Hope you had fun.
