Every year since my grandchildren were young, I have sent each of them a Halloween card. Now that they are adults, I still do it because it's fun, they love getting them and I love to make them. So, the card I'm sharing today was one I made for my granddaughter last fall but have never shared it in a blog post, so I thought now's the perfect time!
My favorite Halloween movie (and probably so for many people) was and is Hocus Pocus. I'm a huge Bette Midler fan and she and the other two women were absolutely hilarious. So, when I saw that Stamping Bella had this stamp, it was a must have for me.
After stamping the image, I used Copic markers to color the witches and the background, using a lot of inspiration for that from the super talented Elaine Hughes and the other DT at SB. The panel was then cut down with a wonky rectangle die, then adhered to a black A2 card base.
The sentiments are from a separate stamp set (both listed below) and after they were white heat embossed on black, I fussy cut them down to size and added them with a bit of foam tape. The last step was to add some Honey Bee Stamps Obsidian Rhinestones, including a small one for the necklace on the middle witch.
Take care!
