Tim Holtz ones from the Lost and Found pad ,, LOVE IT !! :-) I used a Tim Holtz mask on the backgound circle and swirled some gold brilliance ink around a bit :-) The flag pole is a skewer and the flag was made with a bit of Claudine Hellmuth sticky back canvas I used a Tim Holtz skull stamp on shrink plastic to make the Jolly Roger :-)I did the sentiment on the comp it says Arr tis yer Birthday ,:-) ,,, all inked with vintage photo distress ink. The charm is fab eh !! it is from a lovely Blue Moon set of Pirate Charms :-)
