Whimsy Inspiration - Pumpkin Witchy

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for Whimsy Stamps DT, using Pumpkin Witchy rubber stamp by Kirsten Winkelbauer.

I've also used the Haunted Halloween digital papers by Tracey Wray. Unfortunately the cute spider web, black cat and bat are from an old Whimsy Shapeology Halloween die set which I didn't realise are no longer available. (oops!)

I coloured the image with Copic markers, fussy-cut and double mounted over cheesecloth onto the card. I finished with some Whimsy Stamps Summer Breeze Enamel Dots and a few flowers.

Hope you like it!
