Today, I have a special sneak peek for you: a brand new Halloween Whiff of Joy stamp for the September 1st release: Little Witch.
First of all, she is adorable.
Second, she comes with her own greeting.
Third, she is so fun to color!
I wanted my Little Witch to be a bit more muted instead of the traditionally bright purples and oranges usually associated with Halloween.
Here's how I created this card:
I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the WOJ Little Witch to get placement correct on the die cut Tim Holtz Sizzix Ornamental label:
I stamped the image on a sheet of Inkadinkadoo Stamp Mask Paper and cut it out.
Time for the fun coloring part.
These are the colors I used for the skin, cheek color and lips:
These are the colors I used for the Little Witch's hat and dress:
Time for the hair: Y11 first...
then E08...
Accent colors for ribbon on hat, patches, etc. Is she looking cute or what?!!!
Colors for her broomstick. I used some of the purples (not pictured) for the bands around the broom, too.
Time to add some color to that plain 'ol white background with my favorite Hero Arts Old Writing background stamp and some Dried Marigold Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I placed the mask I made earlier over the colored image first.
I added some more Dried Marigold Distress Ink to the edges with the Ink Blending Applicator Tool.
Next a little Black Soot Distress Ink to really accentuate the edges.
I punched a small label shape using a Stampin' Up label punch and then stamped my greeting.
The greeting needed some ink love, too. Shabby Shutters Distress Ink to be precise. :) Don't forget to mask off the little ghost!
Add some pizazz to the ghost on the Little Witch's hat and the one in the greeting with the Copic Spica Clear Glitter Pen.
I decided to dress up the background a bit more with some Papertrey Ink Halloween Stamps. I like to lay them out to make sure I like the placement before committing to stamping them. Commitment issues...
Oh! I like it!
I added a metal book label to the greeting and stamped the card background with the Hero Arts Cling Dots stamp. A few buttons and that was that. Easy Peasy!
