Hallowe'en Witch, Pumpkin & Spider!

Greeting Card Kids from Stampin'Up has several images of little children that are appropriate for various occasions throughout the year. Pumpkins, witches, brooms and spiders mean Hallowe'en to me!!

I started by stamping the main image onto Bella card stock so that I could colour it with copic markers. I didn't want a black outfit for the little witch, so I chose a variety of blue-violet and green copic markers for her outfit. The image was cut with a circle die, edges were sponged with Lovely Lilac ink and adhered to Tag Sale #4 cut from Royal Velvet card stock.

The spider and dotted line were stamped onto the main focal panel with Versamark and embossed with black embossing powder. The spider web was stamped onto a separate piece of card stock and also embossed, before cutting it out and adding a foam dimensional.  A green bow helps to add a bit more colour to the overall tag design.  The light lavender card base was repeatedly stamped with two stamps from the Tag-Its #7 set to create a background for the tag and image panel.

The inside of the card uses the same spider and the full size spider web, stamped in black ink and outlined with a Sakura glitter pen.

The sentiment was made by selectively inking two different stamps from

Birgitta Witch

Happy Halloween!  

I really like the Swiss Pixies from C.C. Designs.  Here is the sweet 'witch' Birgitta, that I made for my nephew's daughter.

     I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black on Bella card stock so that I could use my copic markers. I don't have a lot of colours, and I`m still in the learning stages with the various blending techniques.

     After I stamped  Birgitta,  I masked her and then stamped the bench. The pumpkins were stamped individually as I wanted to be able to place them on the card separately. Once the colouring was finished , the images were cut out and applied to the background card stock. I used a nestabilities die to cut the background and then sponged it with Autumn Terracotta.
The black card stock has been embossed with the Swirls Cuttlebug folder. I thought it would look like a night time scene!I
     The little black gingham bow was embellished with two hanging `tiny tags` from Stampin`Up.  I also used my glitter pen to add some sparkle to Brigitta`s wings, the spider webs on her outfit and the pumpkins. Finally the green card base was used  to lightened up the overall look. `Happy Halloween`was stamped on the inside.
