Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #69

Such a FUN sketch from Claire! This is the second card I have made. I just couldn't not do a witch's hat! 

I tried a different approach with the ribbon. Hope it gives the look of a ruffled brim. For the sentiment I used Labels Eleven and cut an opening from the patterned paper, then added a separate layer on top. I didn't intend for it to look like a 'pumpkin' but after I took the picture it was the first thing I noticed! Still not sure if I like it or not! The sentiment is stamped in black and clear embossed. The Melon Berry color looks so much better IRL. Lots of problems with the lighting--had to work to get the detail and rhinestones to show up against so much black. The hat is black cardstock--black ruffled ribbon covers the brim and gold embossing with rhinestones complete the top. The clear rhinestones were colored with a Copic marker to get the matching purple. The wispy pieces at the top were cut from a puffy ribbon. 

Hope you enjoyed your visit--please come again!
Smiles,
Sharron
