My submission to the blog hop has to be a masculine themed card, and since this week's theme is "invitations" I wanted to incorporate both into today's post!

The first thing, of course, was I got out my copics, and had a grand time coloring my stamped image!  I then used flock for the eye patch, smooch for the earring, buttons, buckle, edge of treasure chest.  I used Rock Candy distress crackle for the skull and treasure chest.  I then had some metal charms, which I used my copics and copper mixative by tim holtz, to distress the metal charm.   I then sanded it down a little, so it looked like an old treasure charm found in the treasure chest, and that someone rubbed on it, to reveal the "words."   I used some Grafix Rub On sheets to create the "You're Invited" (make sure you print it backwards) and rubbed that onto the metal charm.
