WSC54 - Witch Clothes
After a summer break, it felt great to get back into the routine of our Friday Weekend Sketch Challenges from Beate. I hope you'll join us, too, and try this sketch!
Here's what I came up with . . . and used a brand new fall stamp by Karen Lockhart, Witch's Clothes:
My black card base is 5.50" and the patterned papers are a specialty pad (glittered & flocked) by K&Company. I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Circles to cut & mat my circle element. The left vertical element was another pattern of striped paper from this pad that I zig-zag stitched.
I cut out the flocked spider from another pattern of this paper and used him as my right vertical element; he's popped up on dimensional foam tape.
Witch's Clothes were stamped with Tsukineko's Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Neenah Natural White cardstock and colored with these Copic markers:
I intentionally made the shadowing around the clothes a little darker, to make them seem gloomy. Another bit of zig-zag stitching finishes off this image.
You can check out some more wonderful ladies' blogs to see their interpretation of the sketch . . . I'm sure they'll knock YOUR clothes off! Beate, Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig and MaryJo Albright. Have a wonderful weekend!
LOVE this, Sharon! What fabulous colors and papers! An awesome creation!
