I had 2 male cards to make and this theme was perfect, for both are West Country boys/men? I still think of them as boys, even though one is 21 and one is 20. They don't know each other, hence no problem making two cards the same. I came across a Pirate speak translation site, I entered what I wanted to say and out came the phrases, handy ay? and as pirate speak originates from the West Country, I thought it was right to use it.

Creative - great job as always!!!
Oh my goodness, what fabulous pirate cards for both boys! Yes, I even call Bret a boy even though he is almost 24 years old. lol He will always be a boy to me as will his friends. I love your cross bones and skull, such a cute skull to boot-love his heart eye patch and his scarf. Yes, the ties are tiny! But they turned out so cute! Loving the scroll too, but it is the sentiments that really make this card so cute. I think both guys will love their birthday cards! Hugs, Brenda
Brilliant card and thank you for the link, it's much appreciated as I hope to be making some Pirate cards myself soon.... they won't be as good as yours though.
Great idea Faith, looks brilliant xx
A gorgeous card,both inside and out.x
Faith that is such a great card and perfect for the theme. Love the heart eye patch on the skull which just made me smile.
What a fabulous design and such a stunning masculine card...both of the 'boys' are going to love one each x. What a fun idea with the pirate speak translation and wow to the cutting too x.
This one gave me a chuckle! I loooooove the verse! What a fun card and perfect for a masculine theme!
Fabulous Faith, love everything about it

Oh my goodness Faith, this is the best pirate card ever! I love the treasure map background with plenty of 'X marks the spot' action and all your amazing details. My favourite part though was the reference to 'Lots o' booty' which to a 20/21 year old will mean something quite different to what it means to us!!! Those young men will love you for it! Vicky x
Brilliant! Yet again more prowess with the cameo. Well done on finding a pirate translation site.
