The Thundering Rogue


With such a large image the only way to use it is to go CAS, the stamp is from High Hopes but not sure if its still available ( edited yes he is still available). 
It longs like there is lots of layering but honesty there is no more than usual but what is tricky it cutting out the window and the gaps in the sails. I make sure my cutting knife is sharp and not blunt, also I have a glass cutting mat which makes life so much easier when using a cutting knife. Originally I had a kitchen one you just have to make sure it smooth but after the years and lots of cutting it had grooves which my knife got stuck in so now I have a X cut one.
I also have an old skull and crossbones die from Cuttlebug it belonged to their childrens selection which again I think is no more but its a great finishing touch.
