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: I hope you like it!

Before I go, I have some Softpencil news to share with you: Softpencil now has groups on AiFactory and Paper Craft Planet! We'd love for you to come and join us! You can chat with the owner and illustrator of Softpencil, Elizabeth, as well as our DT and other fans of Softpencil!
