A-hoy!! Hoist yer sails ~ It's KitCat Sunday!!

Heehee!  Happy Sunday to you ~ it's a happy one to bring you the KitCat from our sweetie pie hostess this month, Michelle!  She sent us this super fun, fab-tastic kit to play with!  Shiver me timbers, it was full of fun-ness!

From the Kit, she sent us some gorgeous dsp from the Basic Grey Ambrosia line ~ one of my very faves!  I chose the the three orange/yellow combo papers to give this a sunset look - originally my card was going in a different direction, then my dh ended up in ICU and well, I forgot where I was going!  I came home to a half card and it's a good thing, since I had a brainstorm a few days ago to use the map!  It was printed on white cardstock but I wanted more of a Sepia look, so using the tutorial from the uber-talented, most amazing Tracy, I dipped it into a vat of fresh brewed tea! :)  Don't you love it!! I am most pleased with the color!  And while it was still wet, I tore/rolled/smudged the paper to give it that "old world" feel ;) 

Michelle also sent us our choice of pirate from High Hopes - Oberto or Peg Leg Pete ... I chose On Guard Oberto since he reminded me of my son (who LOVES him so pirates, arggggggggh!)  And the lil parrot was an add-on that I colored in apple green (per my son's request) and propped him up on OBerto shoulders.  I added the twine to give it more of a "boy-ish" look and used the darling buttons Michelle sent along with the kit, adding some matching twine to those, too :)  And all scurly pirates be lookin' for treasure .... arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh .... I added some sweet bling she sent along ~ so drop yer sails and sit for awhile to see what the other wenches (I mean, kittens!) created for you today!  :P
