Little Witch

Hello everybody! Thanks for joining me for another Softpencil Thursday! This week the DT got this adorable Halloween image called Little Witch and our challenge was to make a treat bag. I turned to Splitcoast and found the 2-5-7-10 Box tutorial by Jenn Balcer. Here's what I came up with:


I know that *technically* this is called a box, but to me it looks like a bag with a folded over top, so hopefully I still met the challenge!

I used black and purple cardstock for the base and zig-zag stitched on some distressed patterned paper from the new Basic Grey Eerie paper pad (BTW, this stuff really is eerie/scary - not cute at all!).

The little witch was colored with a combo of Copics and a little colored pencil for highlights and shading. This is for the Copic Creations challenge which is to combine the 2 coloring mediums. I think I prefer the white colored pencil for highlighting rather than the Inkssentials pen - it's a lot less harsh so I don't have to smudge it with my finger to tone it down.

I also cut out an extra hat and pumpkin with arms which were popped up on foam tape for dimension. You can also see that I added Stardust glitter pen to the ribbon on her hat and her shirt. Here's a close shot:


Lastly I added some ribbon with a charm to keep it shut.

Other challenges:

• Kaboodle Doodles - use charms
• AiFactory - Halloween
• Belli Challenge - Fall or Halloween

I hope you like it!
