The Witches

     Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday. Today is my husband's birthday.  Ha ha- he has finally caught up to me in age. We won't be celebrating until this weekend when my daughter can be there, but I do plan on making him a birthday cake today because you have to do something to celebrate on your birthday.  🎂

    Since it is getting towards the end of October, and since I have several pages made in my Halloween journal that I haven't shared, today I have 3 pages to share for Elle's Steampunk, Halloween or Halloween Steampunk challenge at Art Journal Journey. Today theme is witches.

    This first page is almost all stamped images, except for the background that I inked with grey ink.

    This next page isn't very complicated either. I took a large  TH image of the moon, and then I stamped a the witch and added a quote.

   For my final page, I did a little more work. I'm not sure I like how this page came out. I like the design, and the thought behind it, but it feels a little messy to me. I can't quite put my finger on what makes it feel messy to me though. 

   I started by adding a couple of scraps of paper on the left (binding side)of my page. I did that because  my witch die cut (Hero Arts) is peeking around something with an edge. 

    I colored in the witch with various markers, and then I decided to make her outfit go all the way down to the bottom of the page. I didn't look complete without doing that.  I continued the stripe effect of the top of her skirt and colored it below the die cut. 

   I added a pipe to her mouth (a die cut scrap that was laying on my work table), and I also added the candelabra to her hand  (that was another die cut scrap).  I used some yellow glitter glue in the lights of the candelabra, and I added some green glitter glue to the witches face and her fingernails. 

    I hand drew and fussy cut the smoke coming out from the pipe, and I decided to write the quote in the smoke. You may remember that my book has a theme of a Halloween party which is why I wrote the quote that I did. Finally I added some sparkle bat stickers to finish off my page.

    That's all for me today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  And just an  FYI-Elle's challenge at AJJ runs through this Friday, which is also Halloween. 👻
