Broomzelda...


This one is for a friend who's birthday is on Halloween and who LOves witches!  It sure makes the theme easy for me every year!



Process:
    View of sculpted image
  • The background was created using Distress Ink Oxides blended through a punched hole in a sheet of paper for the moon.  When I was happy with the moon I removed my "stencil" and changed colors to the blues, purples and just a tinge of black to get my sky the color I wanted.  The edge of that panel was distressed using the Tim Holtz distresser tool and then it was mounted on a black mat.









  • The image of the witch, from Uptown Rubber Stamps, was stamped three times - once on the background overlapping the moon and twice more on 80 lb. Neenah - Classic Crest - Solar White for the paper sculpted image.  I used Copics to color the witches and then fussy cut them.  These were then "sculpted" [dry embossed with a large ball tool on the back of the individual parts of the image to round them & give them dimension.]  With these parts of both witches I then constructed the final image directly over the original stamped witch on the image panel.  I used glue and foam tape to help create or maintain the shape.










  • The inside consists of the sentiment by Inkadinkadoo, a scary black cat from Stampendous [hand-lettered "Yikes!"] also stamped on the envelope and a hand-drawn border with faux stitching.
Create wildly and color with abandon!
