How are you doing? I was on a crafting break after the huge crafting marathon for Winnie and Walter's 4th birthday bash challenges. And now I am back with another BIG project for the Neat and Tangled throwdown - Party Ensemble Challenge.
For this challenge I decided to go with the pirate party theme. I had the Neat and Tangled stamp set - Yo ho ho which I was hoarding for long and thought this was a perfect time to put it to use.
So here are all the things I made -
And before I go on with the details, let me warn you. This is going to be a big post with loads of pictures.
1) Party Invite:
The first thing I made for this challenge was a treasure map party invite. I tore the edges of paper and gave it a old look using distress inks. Then I stamped some images and sentiments in black ink. Then I added some highlights using white and black gel pen and some coloring with brown copic markers.

4) Cupcake Liners: When I was about to do the setup for taking pictures, 2 hours short of the challenge deadline, I realized that the cupcake liners were pink and didn't go well with the pirate theme. Hence I quickly created 2 cupcake liners on kraft paper by stamping the parrot and ship stamps in brown ink. I highlighted part of the images with white gel pen and outlined the skull on flag with black pen.
5) Boat Sails as Fruit toppers:
I wanted to make boats out of melon pieces. So I made some Sail toppers. I added the parrot and the cat with binoculars on them.
And here are the pirate ships -
6) Water bottle and juice bottle labels:
For the water bottle labels, I created a "treasure Map" background with white gel pen.

I hope you liked it all. I had loads of fun creating it. But I am disappointed with he photography as I hardly had a couple of hours before the challenge closed to take and edit good pictures. Hope I take this as a lesson and improve upon the timeline next time.
Love,
Piyu
