Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 37!

So...what is the OPPOSITE of sweet cupcakes? I figure pirate ships and skulls are pretty much it! I have a real twist on today's cupcake challenge. I have this new Stamp of the Month set from Cornish and I just had to ink it up! What a fun set!
It is the time of the year when either spooky/pirate type cards are hot so why not use one of Taylor's fabulous sketches to play!

I did want to show you this close up of my ship. I used pigment black ink to stamp it (so you don't see the patterned paper through) and then I did a fun row of microbrads to add some dimension to this ship. It is stamped on Ambrosia patterned paper and I thought all the fun swirls mimicked the waves of sea.....matey!
Here is the whole card. If you look close I followed Taylors' sketch. I used my spellbinder nesties to cut out all my circles. Something that I didn't plan was the dark circle popping through the eye of the skull....it just worked that way with the patterned paper....Don't you LOVE it when things like that just happen!
