Witching Hour

Hi everyone, as I’ve said before I don’t really ‘do’ Hallowe’en, but I was tempted to buy one Hallowe’en witch stamp while I was at Port Sunlight craft fair a couple of weeks ago, so I thought now’s the time to bring her out to play!

I cut a 14.5cm square of white stamping card, and started by stamping the moon which I then masked. I created the background by blending Elements inks to create the landscape and sky, then removed the moon mask and blended more ink across the moon. I stamped the witch Nerissa flying across the moon, then built up the rest of the stamped scene around her. I coloured the tree and path with Zig pens, added a little colouring and accents with Sakura Stardust pens and a white Posca pen, then matted the finished piece onto a black border and 6” square card blank.
