Witch Needs Coffee

      Here it is, the big day itself, the day all witches are expected to fly and create spells and spook mere humans within an inch of their lies!  But this witch can't get anything right until she's had her coffee.  Sounds like me.  ROFL  

     I'm sharing this as my DT card for the November challenge at This is Halloween, where we celebrate all things Halloween or Gothic all year round.  Don't forget, we're sponsored by Lilli Rain Designs.

     The image was a digital coloring page, reduced in size to fit a 5" square card, printed in grayscale, and I colored it with ProMarkers and water colors.  I added sparkle gel pen to the bubbles in the cauldron and in the flask.  The image was cut with a Lawn Fawn, stitched die and I inked the edges with a black ProMarker.  I mounted the image onto neon orange CS and added one of my signature style, hand-sewn bow with a white pearl.  A nice, CAS design this time.

This is also my final, Day 31 entry for the
 LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.

 

     Come play in our challenge this month.  I know, many of you feel that you're totally burned out on Halloween by now, but you can also do something wonderfully Gothic that isn't Halloween.  And fewer players will certainly mean your entry has a better chance of becoming the Winner!

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

      One last reminder about our This is Halloween October challenge and you still have until the end of the month to add your Halloween or Gothic entry (in the comments section this month.)  We are sponsored by the delightful vintage designs at Lilli Rain.  This is the third image I have used from the "Cute Vintage Halloween Collage Set 2."

     This image is pre-colored and I cut it with a QuicKutz die, then inked the edges with an ink pad.  I layered textured, burlap lace onto a lain card front, then added the image piece.  I added one of my signature, hand-sewn bows (plain this time, no pearl or gem) which was dyed black using a ProMarker.

This is also my Day 20 entry for the
 LeighSBDesigns 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.

Vintage Postcard Halloween

      Today I'm posting a quick reminder about our Monthly October challenge over at This is Halloween.  Our themes are always Halloween or Gothic and this month is our biggest of the year!  :-D

     We're being sponsored by Lilli Rain Designs and my reminder card features a delightful vintage image from the "Cute Vintage Halloween Collage set 2."  My first card can be found here with another image from the set.

    This image is also pre-colored and then cut with my Fiskars cutting board.  I made the background using s scrap of yellow CS, which has been embossed for texture, and some strips of burlap fabric with threads pulled from them to give some visual interest as well as texture.  The orange bow is one of my hand-sewn bows I make up by the dozens and toss in my stash for future use.  This one was white but I 'dyed' it with a ProMarker.

    

     This is also my Day 10 entry into the

Vintage Halloween

      I'm so proud to announce that I am now a DT member of the This is Halloween challenge blog !  We do Halloween or Gothic themes all year around with a monthly challenge each month.  We are sponsored by Lilli Rains Designs and this month I've used lovely vintage Halloween images from the "Cute Vintage Halloween Collage 2" set.  

     I'm only showing you one image from that set today, but I will post two more during October just as reminders of the monthly challenge.  This is a pre-colored image, cut with a QuicKutz rectangle die.  The background was done with a scrap piece of burlap fabric mounted onto a square, white card base.  The ribbon was hand-tied using ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
