Pirate Party - the Invitations



So this is what I have spent my morning doing!  I copied a treasure map image I found through google images, faded it to make a background and then typed the invitation wording across the top. The font is blackadder.  Once printed, I cut out the invitation and dunked it in a baking tray of very strong tea.  Singed the edges with a lighter and lastly, tied with twine!





I think I will have to hand deliver them!

  3. So perfect! I love that font. At first I thought you did calligraphy!

    The background images are fantastic too.

    Sarah, how clever is your little man! Well done!

    Jen, I am going to make swords etc, so there will be more! I drove past your old apartment building yesterday! You would not believe how bad the traffic in Clovelly is now... or maybe it has always been like that and I never realised!

    Julia, if only you could see my illegible scrawl!

  6. Oh Julia! Don't feel guilty! As long as you celebrate the occasion with her she will still feel like a special birthday girl! We don't do the big party every year either.
