Witch Wanda

I don't normally give out Halloween cards, but I have a coworker who celebrates the day (she's a witch!) and wanted to make her a card.  I've always loved colouring the Art Impressions Halloween images, so here is Witch Wanda:

I coloured her with Copic markers, and die cut her out with a stitched oval die.  The sentiment was cut with a stitched circle die, mounted on black and adhered to the base with pop dots.  The two little bats are added with pop dots, too.

Happy Haunting!

The Paper Players #216

I had one more Witch Wanda image coloured up in greyscale... so I decided to make up another Halloween card when I saw that this week's theme challenge on The Paper Players was Halloween...  I've also been wanting to use this background paper on a card somehow (it reminds me of a paint chip!) and thought that this might work:

Patterened papers are Frightful, MME; Cardstock is Black & Colonial White, CTMH; Stamp set is Witch Wanda, Art Impressions; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Copic Markers; Baker's Twine, The Twinery; Enamel dots, Your Next Embellie; Cricut Artiste Cartridge.

Witch Wanda in Greyscale

Halloween is just a few weeks away... so I am sharing an Art Impressions stamp called Witch Wanda today.  I've coloured her all in 'greyscale' using just the warm grey Copic markers, which gives her a bit of a creepy/vintage look!

 

I've used a cream cardstock - but she looks even creepier on white!  Give it a try - it's kind of like colouring a black & white photo?

Lora has some wonderful Halloween papers in the One Crazy Stamper store, whether you're making cards, crafts or scrapbooking.  And here's a tip: when you're on the homepage of the OCS online store, click on "New Items" on the sidebar - and it will show you all the items that have just arrived in the store!  With the holidays coming up, you're going to want the latest & greatest products asap!

Witch Wanda

 Yikes!  Here we are in September already... where does the time go?  But I must say that fall is my favourite season - the colours, the baking, the cooler days - I love it all.  So with Halloween just weeks away, I've pulled out the Witch Wanda Set (Sku#4311) from Art Impressions:

Now I have to say, that before this time last year, I had never made a Halloween card before!?  (We celebrate the occassion, I just don't send cards).  But oh my goodness, I had the best time making them, and fell completely in love with Witch Wanda and the Air Hag stamp set.  It was like getting an injection of mojo... and this year is no different.  I've coloured up a bunch of Wanda's and have several ideas for a few 3D projects, so you'll likely see a bit more Halloween from me!

Here is a closeup of Wanda - she is coloured entirely in "Grey Scale" - I used W9, W7, W5, W3, W1 & W00 Copic markers which are their warm greys - I'd seen the idea on Pinterest, which gives her a bit of a vintage vibe. I really love this look, and plan to do a few more versions of this throughout the fall & holiday season, so stay tuned!
