Witch Please Bewitched card for Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Witch Please!  I had so much fun with this one.  I stamped and colored one of the hat stamps from the Stampin Up set I used.  I then punched the hat and the band. I layered that on a scrap piece of paper, this is my one and only card with it.  I just love it!  If someone can identify it leave me a comment below.  I would love to have more!

You can play along with this sketch on the blog HERE.

I stamped my sentiment and cut it down to fit.  I used a tearing tool for the top of the witch hat paper.  I inked all the edges.  I added sheer ribbon and popped up the witches hat on pop dots.  I finished off the card with sequins in the upper left corner.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Bewitched Stamp set and Witches Builder Punch

Kindred Stamps Weirdos sentiment stamp

Stampin Up Black ink

Dance your way through bad days...Wednesday card

Tis the season and another witchy card.  Actually, I did go down a rabbit hole about Wednesday and the conclusion is she is a witch with psychic abilities inherited through her maternal family.  I spent a lot of time piecing this little lady together.  

I tried several different adhesives to keep the layer of lace on the dress.  I ended up with glue dots in strategic places on the dress.

I fussy cut slivers of the same black paper as the hair to create the strands that hang down by her face.

Ingredients:

Hero Arts Fancy dies Lifestyle Forms

Hero Arts Fancy dies Lifestyle Picnic

Hero Arts Fancy dies Lifestyle Victorian Lady 

Hero Arts Hero Lifestyle Faces stamps

Hot of the Press Paper Artist 10 tiny things and shadow dies

With Heartfelt Sympathy card

I created a batch of sympathy cards recently. I noticed that my stash of that sentiment was depleted.  Unfortunately, I am glad I made them.  I have sent out two in the last month.  I sent this one to a crafty friend who lost her husband.  The background paper was from a second hand stash that I purchased which was already cut down to A2 size.  I suspect it is Stampin Up but have not confirmed such.  I found some coordinating scraps and die cut the foliage and word.  I stamped and die cut the "with heartfelt".

Ingredients:

Divinity Designs With Sympathy Stamp/Die Duo

Stampin Up Mango Melody ink

Scrapbook.com Market Blooms Sunshine Blooms dies (foliage)

Gina K Sentiment Strips Die Set
