Roni just shared her Halloween creation and Jenn's is up next. You are now at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's Blog.
I have made a fun little 3 1/2" x 11" card featuring Rick St. Dennis' little lady, Callista. See her featured HERE. Get over to Airless Chambers and sign up for the Newsletter. Subscribers received her FREE this month, so don't miss out. I will be entering this project in the October Newsletter Freebie Contest.
Next up is a Halloween Challenge #5 over at Punk You Girl. If it's Halloween they want it!
I have had this shoe pattern for a long time and thought it would be fun to try it with this card. Witches seem to have the most fabulous shoes (Esp the ones Rick draws!). Callista had some bones and candy left over, so thought she would fly over and give a little gift to her best friend. Enjoy Day 20 everyone!

Callista
Callista was printed out 2x on Whisper White card stock.
I pulled out some pastels from The Stencil Connection, which I believe is out of business. I think I bought these 10 or so years ago...and probably using them for the 3rd time! Anyway, she is colored with the pastels. Then I went over with markers and Blender Pen to add a little more depth.
She is fussy cut and adhered over second image. I outlined her with a marker. I did cut out the eyes of her and snake (which I realized later that the eye is backwards) so that the whiteness would really pop. I used the white Gel Pen on buckle (on hat) and her laces.
The star she is originally holding is replaced by the head from on of the stamps in the Voodoo set from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club, also drawn by Rick St. Dennis. Head is stamped in black marker and fussy cut and colored in with markers and Blender Pen.
Since Callista loves casting spells, I had to add a slip of paper in her apron. Paper says spells, which I wrote w/ fine tip black Sharpie and smeared a bit of ink on it. Used an Exacto knife just above line and slipped under.
Callista's favorite broom, her great great great great great great grandmother's, was made from a poor skeleton that got broken down for parts. Broom is upper and lower leg bones. Linen Thread is wrapped and cut for broom bottom.
Background
Before finished Callista was added, I used a stamp from Urban Decay (April 2013) a Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering, over entire background.
Saying "I put a spell on you" is from Creepy Lil' Grumpies (August 2013), Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
I added an old Stampin' Up! color, Green Galore (retired), to the entire background.
All sides were Spritzed with Cut Grass Dylusions Ink Spray.
Last, stars from Stampin' Up! set, Seeing Stars, were stamped in Craft White ink.
Shoe
Shoe is out of Basic Black card stock.
Flower is a mixture of Epson salt and water brushed onto Basic Black card stock, then let to dry. I punch out with Pansy Punch.
Metal flower, lace ribbon on bag, and green Designer Paper are retired SU! products.
Bones are from broken down skeleton.
Hard to see, but there is a Jewel Rhinestone in the center of flower under hand.
Washi Tape from set out of Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog, Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape.
