This A Halloween Witch in the Pumpkin Patch Card is one that I had fun making and kept adding more and more to it! You could make something similar but with a lot less detail! You have to like coloring if you make this same card although you could use something other than Stampin’ Blends if you wanted to.
The card base is Pumpkin Pie with a layer of Basic Black. You wouldn’t have to use the extra black layer, but I think it helps the card front to stand out.
The real story of this card is the card’s front layer! It is a piece of Basic White. Of course, the basic information is easy….just stamp the images, cut out and color, place everything and adhere! The witch is from the Best Witches Stamp Set. She is stamped in Memento Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I chose some colors that are a little different so just play around with your markers! This witch obviously has a little too much blush on her cheeks! After coloring the witch, I looked for the die set to cut her out, then remembered that there aren’t any dies! So I just cut her out with my Paper Snips! She is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and even a few Mini Dimensionals.
The first pumpkin I stamped and diecut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. It’s the pumpkin on the left that I set down low and trimmed off the overhanging bottom of the pumpkin in order to make it smaller. Then I stamped the pumpkin on the far right and planned to overlap that one with the die cut pumpkin. But then I thought, why not mask that pumpkin and stamp another one behind it?! I used various oranges and maybe some yellow and green on these pumpkins.
To give the witch some way to stand a little higher, I stamped the group of flowers in the Hello Harest Stamp Set in the left corner of the card. I colored the flowers and put some brown down around the flowers to look like ground and dirt for the witch to stand on!
For the sky, I stamped the little stars, colored them in with Dark Daffodil Delight, and then played around with the sky. I ended up using Smoky Slate first in just a scribbly way, then adding some other colors, like Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, and maybe some Pale Papaya. I think it ended up looking a little bit like a Halloween sky!
For the greeting, which I didn’t even think I had room for, I stamped “Best Witches” from the Best Witches Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White. Then I just trimmed it by hand, cutting pretty close to the letters and cutting apart the words. I really like the way it fits on the card! I also had that stamped and colored little frog in the stamp set and the die-cut bat laying on my table so I stuck those on also! I really think the stamp sets that you can kind of build a little scene with are fun to play with!
If you like to color and make a Halloween night scene in the pumpkin patch, give this card a try!
