Simon Says ,,,,,, Joy's Eeerie Inspiration :-)


Hi all, thank you for joining us for the Dies and Punches Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too :-)

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

JOY’S EERIE INSPIRATION

Our lovely teamie ,Joy, created this fabulous Pinterest board for us to use :-)


As always Heidi will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!


I used this fabulous Witch from a new Penny Black Best Witches set. Isn’t she gorgeous !  I know witches are supposedly ugly, green and warty, but she is more of a ‘Charmed’ sort of beautiful witch eh  :-)
 I loved the picture of the witches legs sticking up with the green and black stripey stockings and the haunted house, so I used those 2 pictures mainly for my inspiration :-)


I coloured her with Copics and fussy cut her out ,,, took me ages ,,, she would be fab as a stamp and die cut !!! Isn’t her little cat cute,,, looks just like my Cassie or Jack,,,, :-)

If you were here yesterday you will recognise the  haunted house and spiders web that were cut on the Silhouette Cameo as I used them on my PTW card :-) The moon was coloured with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and then smothered with Perfect Pearls ,, really beautiful and shimmery IRL.  I added Star Dust Stickles onto the windows and glossy accents on the spider, I also used a white gel pen for the eyes. The papers are from a new Bazzill Basics All Hallows Eve pack ,,, LOVE these :-)

oh my gosh, YES, she is definitely much more the "charmed" style of attractive young witch than the traditional macbeth type ones, but then that's why she looks so totally FAB on your gorgeous card! thanks for SHOPPING YOUR (halloween) STASH with us this week! ♥♥♥
