OK…here’s another “ornament” using the Delicate Bauble Dies…in particular, the sold arabesque shape. Have I sold you on these dies yet? Did you see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN and SNOWMAN done with the same shape?
Now I’ve made a WITCH! So fun! Can you guess what I used for the nose? A triangle would have worked, but I had this die set sitting on my desk and thought I’d try it! The jagged edges and “cuts” worked perfectly. See what it is below.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock was added on top.
- The Boo pattern in Cute Halloween DSP was cut to 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 and added towards the left side. A 3/4 x 4 piece of the polka dot pattern in Cute Halloween DSP was added across the bottom front.
- The witch face was cut from Granny Apple Green with the arabesque solid shape from the Delicate Baubles Dies. Another one was cut from Basic Gray cardstock and hand-trimmed to make her hair. The hat was the top of one cut from Basic Black cardstock.
- The hat band is a 1/8 strip of Rich Razzeberry. Rectangles of Daffodil Delight and Basic Black were cut for the buckle.
- The eyes are 1/4″ circles of Basic Black and the mouth is a 3/8″ circle of Basic Black. The eyebrows are strips of Basic Black.
- The nose is the top of the tree cut from the Christmas Tree Die! I cut off the trunk and it was slightly curled at the end and popped up on the face with Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- The greeting from Frightfully Cute was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner. The witch face was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Genial Gems were added around the greeting AND one added for the wart on her chin!
Love it! I really think the nose just MAKES this face…and the WART, of course! Yep…I have a couple more ideas floating around in my head…will see how soon I can get them out on paper!
