Coloring a Witches Hat

I've been having tons of fun coloring and creating with Halloween stamps lately. Here's one I made using stamps from Eat Cake Graphics.

Isn't that witch a hoot?!!! Hazel the witch is getting her boogie on, but I wonder what she is out collecting in that pumpkin? Hopefully some yummy candy! LOL To color the witch's hat, and give it creases and folds, I followed a tutorial over on the Spectrum Noir Blog. You can find the tutorial HERE.

I colored most of the images with Spectrum Noir Markers. The grass is stamped by coloring Bud Green and Moss Spectrum Aqua Markers colored directly on the stamp. Then I did a quick watercolor wash to blend it out. Hazels dress has tiny dots all over it, which I added with a black micron pen. To give her glasses some dimension, I colored over with a Versamark marker and heat embossed clear. I cut out a few of tombstones and popped up for a bit for dimension. Then I stamped the full Graveyard image a few times on the card base for a tone-on-tone look. The sentiment is heat embossed. 

Here's the Spectrum Noir Markers I colored with:
Hat & Shoes - IG1, IG9, IG4
Skin - EB1, EB2, IG3, FS3
Hair - GG1, GG5, Black
Dress - PL2, PL4, PL1
Glasses - OR2, IG9
Pumpkin - OR1, OR2, OR3, GB4, CT4, CG3
Tombstones - GG1, GG2

Are you ready for a fun Halloween adventure? Hazel the witch is!

Isn't she awesome! She has her pumpkin and is ready for a Happy Halloweenie! I used a sentiment stamp with Radiant Neon Electric Purple ink to create the pattern on a white card base. Then, on the orange cardstock panel, I've stamped some trees and skull grass with VersaMark. The coloring is done with Spectrum Noir Markers:

• Skin - FS2, FS4, TN2, CR3
• Hair - HB1, PL4
• Hat, Dress, Shoes - IG1, IG8
• Socks - CG1, CG3, GB1, GB3, GB5, IG1, IG8

If you look closely, you can see I colored her glasses and the pumpkin eyes and nose with a clear glaze pen. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The 3 gems on the pumpkin are colored with a green Spectrum Noir marker.

These are the stamps I used to make my card:
