Anyway, in the later books, Mrs. Weasley likes to spend Christmas listening to Celestina Warbeck on the radio, and one of her songs is "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love" and I'm pretty sure that's what my little pastel witchy-poo has brewed up today.
This cute little witch and all the rest of the stamps I used today are part of Cauldron Bubble, so I'll enter this over at What Will You Stamp:
I decided to go the pastel route for Celestina due to the latest challenge from Fusion:
I was a bit limited by what Stampin' Blends I have so far, so I used Petal Pink (the light one is a good skin tone color), Mint Macaron, and the light Rich Razzleberry. I probably wouldn't have put those three shades together on my own but I think I made them work? I would have used Pool Party if I had that color in the Blends but I don't. And I would have used Highland Heather but I only have Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss for purples. Clearly I need to get all the rest of the Blends ;) And I should probably look up some videos to learn how to make them, y'know, BLEND.
Last up is the Just Add Ink sketch:
The hubs is coming home for the weekend this afternoon, can't wait to see him again! And this weekend, since it finally feels like fall, I shall be making a cauldron full of...taco soup. Yum!
Cheers, y'all!

ReplyDeleteI really like the effect of those little bits right above and below the background of the main square. It just adds something that you wouldn't notice, but it brings the design together. Great job!!!
I do prefer warty, ugly witches for some reason. Ha! LOVE YOU!
CUTE!! I like it all in pastels!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching HP too, 'tis the season? but late nights are rough. I had to stop in the middle of 5. ;)

ReplyDeleteI love it Christy! Such a cute Halloween card. You did a great job with your colouring and the colours look lovely together! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Christy! The soft pastels add a lovely fresh feel and your images are beautifully coloured. I love the Razzleberry accent strips you’ve used - the colour makes for such a striking design. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post and agree that a time turner would be very useful. I love this stamp set - it's lovely to see a card in non-traditional colours. Chantell Just Add Ink
