Bellariffic Friday - Halloween

It's Bellariffic Friday!  I'll confess, I almost didn't make it this week (which is shocking as I LOVE Halloween) but my friend Dana "encouraged" me and I turned it into a timed challenge for myself!  I only had one hour before bedtime and here's what I made.

I stamped Stella and her Broomstick in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with copics.  There really wasn't much to colour but I sure used a lot of copics!

The paper is Echo Park Happy Halloween from an old TE Key Ingredients Kit.  I used Martha Stewart's spiderweb punch for the border and some Tiny Twinkles beside the sentiment BOO!  The BOO sentiment is outlined with my black glaze pen to give it a bit more pop.  I used one of my "go to" favs when I'm in a hurry for the layout.  I cut out an extra broom and paper pieced it so it hung over the edge.  A few coats of black glaze pen on her hat and some glitter on her collar and hem, 'cause even witches have to have a bit of bling.  I did a little paper piercing in the bottom corners.  Some shiny lipstick courtesy of my clear glaze pen and she's ready to go, although she doesn't really look like she's in any hurry, does she?!

Cheerio.....Leslie

Is that the paper I sent you like 2 years ago?! I'm so proud that you finally decided to use it!! LOVE how her broom is outside the rectangle & your shading is STUNNING.

Yes, great minds think alike. Well I only own 2 halloween SB images, so my choice was limited. Fantastic job on the color, love her green hair!

Ack - I would die if I only had an hour to complete a card. Apparently it doesn't faze you though. Stella looks migh-t-y fine sitting atop her broom and spreading halloween cheer. Not a scary bone in her. hehe. Love it!
