Pirate Party!

So, here's the invitations for yet another "pirate" party.
I swear, this child is testing my creativity to the max. So here's what

I came up with this time....

1. I found this scull/sword crossbones graphic on the Internet (I lOVE google)

I copied them onto sticker paper, then took my handy dandy 1" circle punch, and

punched them out.

2. For the actual invitation, I printed it onto card stock, crumpled it up,

and tore the edges off. Then I dipped

it into a tea/brown paint mixture. Then I laid them flat, and let them dry.

At first, it was taking forever. But then I set them on a baking pan, put it on top of

the stove while I was cooking dinner in the oven, and they were dried in no time.

3. Then I just folded them and closed it with the sticker. (originally, I had wanted to use

a wax seal, but no wax I had was thick enough to look/act authentic).

Hence, Plan B, the stickers. So, what do you think? There's more to the invitation, but it included my phone # and address, so I cropped that part off. I think they turned out pretty cool though.
