Wish - Loves Rubberstamps Challenge

Hello Friends -

We are suppose to get snow by morning, yuck!  I am so not ready for the white winter we are suppose to get.

Today I am back with another Anything Goes Challenge from  Loves Rubberstamps!  This is a fun one and definitely a challenge:

BLACK & WHITE or SEPIA -

Full Black & White = Everything must be in a black and white color scheme including your image


Black & White with Colored Image = Everything must be in a black and white color scheme except your image - which you may color any way you want 
You could also do Black on Black with Colored Image OR White on White with colored image too


Sepia = Create a full Sepia colored card, including the images OR Sepia with image colored as you want or small pop of color (light pink, light blue etc)


Our sponsor this week is Sweet and Sassy Stamps!

I decided to go with the Sepia route. I thought long and hard about which image to use, and I came across Tilda with a Lantern in my stash.  She was the perfect candidate for this challenge.

I had all afternoon to craft yesterday and it was so nice and relaxing.  So today, I will share a little card I made during that time.  I used Annabel the Witch, by Crafty Sentiments.  I struggled a bit with her, but in the end, I think it all came together.  I decided to go with a good witch color for her had and add a bit of yellow and purple for the dress and hat.  I cut her out with Spellbinders Labels 23.  I distressed everything and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  This is a gate fold card adorned with Wild Orchid flowers and a doily.

Skin:  E000, E00, E21, E33, R20
Hair:  G92, G94, G99

I kept the inside simple, with a little distressing, tag and ribbon.
