Stop in for a Spell

I'm slowly getting over the flu, and what better way to distract myself than with a card? This card is another cute witch card, this time using an A La Mode stamp set called Bewitching.

I started by stamping the witch onto some Copic marker paper and coloring her in with my Copics. I kept the coloring pretty simple. After the image was colored in, I cut around it with my scissors, leaving a small white border. Since the green tendrils of smoke from the cauldron were delicate, I didn't cut around them entirely. But I didn't like the larger white space, so I dotted a few green bubbles with a Copic marker, and outlined them in black pen. This both filled in the empty space and added a bit more whimsy.

I grabbed my Bigshot and did some die-cutting. I cut a background from a dark purple cardstock using the stitched rectangle from MFT's Blueprints 13. I also grabbed a couple of fun papers from Doodlebug's Ghouls & Goodies 6x6. I die-cut a sentiment panel with the small banner from Blueprints 13, then cut the green polka dot paper with a larger banner I cut the orange star panel with a rounded rectangle from Blueprints 5.

I prepared the center panel by adhering the sentiment banner in the bottom left corner, then adhering the witch next to it. I positioned the banner to be just behind the witch's leg, so it didn't look out of place.

For the card base, I cut and scored a piece of Kraft cardstock into a standard A2 card (4 1/4 by 5 1/2"). I adhered the purple panel straight onto the card with my standard dot adhesive. I layered the green banner near the middle of the card, then added the center panel with foam tape.

I decided to add some lovely flowers from Prima Flowers' Herb Green Forever pack. Lastly, I also added a couple of white enamel dots by the green flower.
