Getting ready for the Witching Hour!


Hello everyone!  I have a quick Halloween card for you today.  I realize that it isn't October yet but I have to tell you that Halloween cards are my absolute FAVORITE cards to make.  I probably make more Halloween cards than any other. On to the card. My image comes from a Crafter's Companion set called Best Witches.   I love this image.  I used Spectrum Noir Markers and Sparkle pens to color this image.  I apologize  because I misplaced my paper with the colors that I used written down.  I will do better next time.  Once I had the image all colored I fussy cut it out.  I took a black brush marker and colored the edges so it looked more finished.  The background was created by using Wilted Violet and Fossilized Amber Distress inks from Tim Holtz.  I adhered the image to my back ground piece and then took foam dots and placed them under the shoes to give the card a little more dimension.  The other think I did was took Glossy Accents and covered the bubbles that were spilling out of the cauldron.  I used a piece of black simmer paper to frame my background piece.  The card base I used is one that I got from stash, it is premade and I got a whole box at Michaels for like $8.  The color didn't quite match so I took the fossilized amber and put a layer on top of my premade base.  I stamped the sentiment "Best Witches" with black ink, fishtailed both ends.  Then I took my piece and put it in the tentacles like the octopus was holding it.  Finished with some orange stickles and that is my card for today.  Thank you for stopping by.

Come and create something with me.
