Best Witches with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

This past week end, my mojo was totally working for me. I got 6 cards done. That is amazing since usually I struggle to get 2-3 done. And I didn't even craft on Saturday because we took a trip down to Ikea to check out furniture and storage solutions for my future craft room. Yeah me! Okay, I am going to pipe down now before my muse thinks I am cocky and totally deserts me and get to the details of my LSS DT card.


I had fun making this card. I created the pumpkin using 3 ovals cut using my nesties. I embossed them and inked the edges. The stem was hand cut and then embossed and inked. After I assembled the pumpkin, I folded a matching piece of orange paper (for the fold in the card) and then traced my pumpkin. I cut it out for my card base and attached my pumpkin to the front. Does that make sense? If you would like more info, please feel free to email me.



I thought Lindsay's cute little witch from Cute Halloween would look perfect here. She is attached using pop dots from some dimension. I am still practicing using my Copic markers. This is the first time I tried to color anything black. Some parts of her look better than others but I was afraid to keep messing around with her.



Here is a look at the complete Cute Halloween set.






Please visit the rest of the DT blogs to see their LSS creations this week. As always, Lindsay will have a freebie on her blog.

What a cute stamp and so creative to use the nesties to make a pumpkin! You did a great job with the Copics, I am fairly new and would think black would be difficult, but wow, you did awesome. Have an awesome day.

Super Cute! Love all the little details you added to the card - it really works. I think you did a fantastic job coloring the black as it is one of the toughest colors to work with.

I really like the embossed detail to your pumpkin and the straw tie is perfect for the Fall themes!

Thanks for joining us at Aud Sentiments - hope to see again at our next challenge.
