Ahoy Cuties!

I made this card for the Bugaboo BINGO challenge. It fits the center row: Sparkle (I added sparkly gold gel pen to the gold coins. I provided a closeup photo... but the sparkle doesn’t show up very well. It does in real life.), Bugaboo image (this one is named Pirate Bear) and Stitching (I added white stitching to his eyepatch.)
The sentiments are from a Polkadoodles digi set, and the Parrot was fussy cut from a Freebie pre-colored digi set from LoveSVG. I’m entering this into additional challenges including Bugaboos Stella Says Sketch (I trimmed the wavy paper to use as the lace across the sketch. The Bugagoo image and sentiment on my card are both much larger than the one on the sketch. Plus I added coins and a parrot to the sentiment, which makes it even larger. I hope my layout still resembles the sketch enough to apply to this challenge? If not, feel free to disqualify it!)  
 

Supplies: 
·    Digi- Bugaboo (Pirate Bear)
·    Sentiments- PolkaDoodles (Pirate Little Dude)
·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white and sparkly gold gel pens
·    Gold Coin stickers, and assorted background papers from my stash
·    Parrot clip art- LoveSVG (Pirates Design 4246)

Last January I won a challenge at Outlaws and loved picking out a few digis from My Besties, including this adorable digi. It was fun to color this cutie and her “Sweet Lil Things”! The sentiments from a We Are 3 Valentine digi set are a perfect fit for this card. I’d also picked up a packet of assorted note cards at Goodwill a while ago and loved how the colorful swirly pattern on this one really set off the sweet Besties digi and... also matches the colors on Outlawz Color Challenge. Yay!
