I created this card using My Favorite Things stamps/die, Lavinia Stamps ‘Bats’ and Fairytale Eco Glitter, Copics, and Brushos.
Isn’t she just adorable! I saw this stamp and thought ‘I’ve GOT to have that!’
You can tell the little cat has been in my craft room…she has glitter on her tail! My cat can probably relate.
To make the background, I sprinkled Violet Brusho over the surface of the watercolor paper. I spritzed the Brusho with water and lifted and tilted the paper so that the Brusho and water ran towards the bottom of the paper.
I stamped the little witch on X-Press It Blending card and die cut her with the matching die. (The witch, cat, and broom are one stamp). I colored them with Copics, then used a Quickie Glue Pen to put dots of glue where I wanted the glitter to go. I sprinkled Fairy-tales StarBrights glitter over the glue, tapped off the excess, and used a Cricut Weeder to gently guide the stray pieces of glitter from the areas on the stamped image where I didn’t want it.
Next, I die cut the moon out of a scrap piece from a previous project. (Ost. Blue, Violet, and Turquoise Brushos had been used.) I attached the moon to the watercolor paper using Scor-Tape and adhered the witch with Scor-Tape and Multi Medium Matte.
I stamped the sentiment and bat on a strip of the extra Brusho watercolor paper, then added a few accompanying bats to the card. To finish, I adhered the cardstock to a black cardstock base.
She’s ready to go trick-or-treating!
