Witching Hour

Hello everyone! October is here and it's the start of a new challenge at the Four Seasons challenge blog. Autumn is all around us here in the Northern Hemisphere and we have another wonderful mood board to inspire your autumnal creations. But as always, you don't have to use it as "Anything Fall Goes".


I was inspired by the bottom right image from the mood board (see below) to use this gorgeous Marcie from Lavinia Stamps. She is from last year's release but I only just purchased her. I usually get my Lavinia stamps from ASC Supplies on Etsy and Joggles also has a nice assortment. Of course if you are in the UK you can get them directly from Lavinia for the best selection.

The background was done with one of Lavinia's hill's stencils but this can easily be done with a handmade paper mask using copy paper by tearing or cutting with scissors Then I stamped the witch  and cat  using Versafine Onyx ink along with the branches on the left and right side using Lavinia's Seasonal Tree stamp. 

Next I stamped the moon and the leaves from the set Creeping Vine. Finally I thought it needed something else so I chose Orchard GrassBesides black ink I used Distress inks Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahohany. For some sparkle I used a Sakura Stardust glitter pen on her hair, broom, dress and around the moon but unfortunately the sparkle isn't showing up well in the photos. 

Sentiment is also from Lavinia stamps - Witching Hour.

Below is a peek at our mood board. Isn't it just fabulous??!!
