I started by creating a tag base with a layer of black card stock and patterned paper using Stitched Tag. This tag set comes with the decorative top, which I cut from black glitter card stock.

I created some witch legs using the Boots and Stockings die set. I colored her stockings with markers, and cut her shoes from black glitter card stock. 

I created her skirt by spritzing some patterned paper with water, shaping it into a skirt, and adhering it over top of the legs. A quick bow serves as a belt, and I added a small Spider Web cut from white glitter paper, for some extra sparkle and shine.

Impression Obsession: Birthday Wishes

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! This week’s challenge is Birthday Wishes. Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

This card features my Scenic Hiker die, which is a personal favorite, and designed with some of my favorite people in mind, too! The die is cut several times from black cardstock, and once from a white glitter cardstock. I adhered one black piece to the white glitter piece, and off-set it just slightly to give a moon, or sun, glow to the shapes. I then adhered two more black cardstock layers to it, to give it lots of depth.

The cardbase is stamped with the 6x6 Woodgrain background stamp, for a bit of rustic charm.
