Spooky Witch Card

Created by Mary Dimercurio Prasad for Elizabeth Craft Designs

I love Halloween! It’s such a fun theme for making cards, too. Here’s my first of the year. I hope you enjoy making this project as much as I did.

Making the Card

1. Adhere Double Sided Adhesive Sheet to white cardstock. Remove release sheet and adhere the witch using the transfer technique Els shows in the video tutorial HERE. Coat with Cool Diamond Microfine Glitter and polish with your finger. Color with alcohol markers (Copics used here). OPTION: Tone down the silver outlines and the solid areas on the cat and spider in the peel-off with a warm-toned black alcohol based marker. Work slowly and carefully so the black will not get on any of the glitter or the other marker colors. (This will crate a spooky mottled effect on the cat and spider and will add a pop of black to the eyeballs.)

2. Cut sheet of black cardstock to 6 1/2 x 10 inches; fold in half. Cut matching purple patterned cardstock from 12×12 Midnight Magic pack to 6 1/8 x 4 3/4. Apply adhesive, line up with top of card, center, and stick down.

3. Cut shown piece of patterned cardstock (with spider, skull, and raven) to 5 7/8 x 4 5/8 inches. Adhere spider web washi tape as shown, wrapping ends around back. Cut a thin piece of Basic Black Shimmer Sheetz to 5 7/8 inches. Adhere below washi tape. Apply adhesive to back, line up with top of card, center, and stick.

4. Using main die from Katie Label Accordion, cut purple cardstock. Cut middle “label” piece from the frame; turn it over, line it up, secure with removable tape and cut again. This takes off the extra bits from the accordion. Adhere glittered witch to center using dimensional tape.

5. Using shown “label” die from Katie Label Pivot Card set, cut one black cardstock and one purple cardstock. Stamp and silver emboss “Spooky” sentiment near bottom right of purple label as shown. Outline with black marker. Add spider brad embellishment as shown.

6. Cut three sizes of five petaled flowers (Bunch of Flowers 1) from black cardstock. Cut mid-sized triple leaf from light green cardstock. Using foam blending tool, add Mowed Lawn to leaves, followed by Black Soot as shown. Cover flowers and leaves with clear Wink of Stella. Shape as desired. Cover with Distress Crackle Paint. Let dry. Adhere flower layers together as shown. Add gem to center.

7. Adhere witch as shown using dimensional tape. Adhere black label where shown. Adhere “spooky” label using dimensional tape just offset from black label.

8. Adhere leaves and flower as shown. Add gem embellishments as shown.
