For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, Brenda chose a fun site, Just for Fun Flags. And after browsing a while, I chose THIS as my inspiration.

For my Halloween card, I stamped & colored the Witch Legs on an arched die cut. The stars were stamped on the purple w/ Distress oxide shaded lavender. I die cut the stars border out of a lighter purple & also white & used some of the white ones to fill in the purple outlines. I added stickles in some areas for a little sparkle.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT552) on Splitcoast today is all about cats. My Halloween card has a couple of metal confetti cats…every good witch needs a cat, right? Personally, I have never had a cat…I’ve had parrots for so long, bringing a cat in just didn’t seem like a good idea….I picture Sylvester & Tweety Bird. Eventually, the parrot is going to look a lot like lunch to the cat!

For my ghoul friends, I stamped the witch feet on the right & used the mirror image (or reflection) technique for the one on the left. After coloring both, I over stamped the one on the right w/ Versafine but used a very fine Micron pen to go over the one on the left. I accidentally dropped the dark purple Copic on the background so I just did a Pointillism technique in the area all around the witches. The hats were fussy cut and added on top of the bracket border strip along with the greeting.

For my first card, I put this super cute little witch from the Halloween Pops set into my Misti, stamped her with Memento & colored her with Copics. To add a little interest, I used the blender to add polka dots to her dress. Then I over stamped the image with Versafine (this really brings out the details!) & die cut with a stitched rectangle. I had to do a little out of the box treatment to keep from cutting off her hat & broom & I also trimmed the edges a little closer. The moon & top of the cauldron were stamped with white ink onto the black c/s & the dp strips are all from the same sheet…I just used a few areas of it. I added some orange stickles to her belt & hat band & crystal stickles to the moon.

Here’s a look at the inside, using leftover strips & below it are the Copics I used.


Supplies:

For this card, I used the fun new Hocus Pocus image. Usually, I color first then see if I have paper to match, but I picked the paper first on this one so I could use Copics to go with it. I love open areas on words…it gives me a lot of opportunity to change the colors to suit. 

After stamping, coloring & over stamping, I die cut it..but I had to do a little resizing (pls click link for explanation) to make it fit, so the panel is now much longer than the actual die. It’s backed w/ a vanilla rectangle layer & I added some of the die cut Creepy Wreath on top & bottom. A few bats & a cat from the wreath set were also added.

You can probably see it better in the pic above..I added some Wink of Stella to the colored areas. I wanted a little sparkle but I didn’t want to cover all the coloring. Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.
