Skulls, Bones & a Treasure Map - get the guests excited for your Pirate Party!

What you will need:

1. Black card blanks with white envelopes

2. Pirate Diecut Set from deluxecuts.com - Map, Flag, Skull, Bones

3. Black alphabet cutouts - A,H,O,Y.

4. White Pigment Stamping Ink

Directions:

1. Assemble and glue the flag to the envelope. Glue the skull and bones on to the flag. Glue the letters to form 'AHOY'.

2. Glue the map to the black card blank on the lower side.

3. In the space above the map, place the remains of the skull/bones die cut (there will remain a stencil after you poke out the skull and bones for the flag on the envelope).

4. Holding the stencil firmly, press the sponge into the white pigment ink and dab the paint into the stencil to form a skull/bones image on the invite above the treasure map.

5. Write the invitation and party details on the inside. See ideas for Pirate Birthday Invitation Wording.
