There are so many fantastic witchy and spooky stamps on the market at the moment, and I’ve been thinking about ways to use them, especially as my love for Halloween isn’t shared by many of our family or friends.
So, here’s a witchy birthday card, using the gorgeous Witch Emma stamp from C.C. Designs available HERE.
Witch Emma has been coloured using Copics, a list of which can be found at the end of this post. Her hat and skirt have also been covered in Shimmerz Spritz “Licorice” available HERE. I spritzed it onto a saucer and then added to the image with a small paintbrush in the same way as for the normal Shimmerz paints (available HERE).
As with my Goth Girl card, I’ve used the gorgeous Tricks and Treats specialty papers from American Traditional Designs (available HERE). The fence behind Emma was created using the Martha Stewart Scary Fence border punch (available HERE) on Kraft cardstock that I first covered with Shimmerz Spritz in “Licorice”. The Licorice Spritz really creates a gorgeous effect on Kraft cardstock.
The sentiment was created on the computer and printed out on Kraft cardstock, which I then covered with Licorice Spritz. Check out how shimmery it is! The 1/8″ crystal brads in the corners are available HERE.
Licorice Spritz – now my official favourite of the Shimmerz colours!
My partner – Paul – loves this image, so this is his card for tomorrow! Have a Happy Shimmerzy Birthday Paul. *grin*
