the little witching hour

for the month of october the challenge at lunagirl moonbeams has been "gothic."  just a few days remaining to link up your creation for the chance of shopping credit at the lunagirl store.  while this ATC is arguably not so gothic, it is certainly seasonal...

the cute little vintage witch is from the "witching hour" collage sheet and her wings are from the "gothic wings" collage sheet. the moon is from "harvest moon" and the background is from the "gothic backgrounds -red" collage sheet, all by lunagirl.  i have a little bit black vine ribbon and a silvery flower (a brad) as accents on this ATC.

enjoy; happy hallowe'en, and love to all.

she asks, what does the future hold?

she asks, what does the future hold--
can it be divined from board or ball?
or is the key, may i be so bold,
deep in my heart where love is all?

here is my DT creation for week two of "witchery" at lunagirl moonbeams.  while creating this piece i was inspired to write the poem above.  you have one more week to link up a creation on our theme.
i'm also linking this to the "goth/hallow e'en" challenge at drunken stampers.

love to all.

steampunk witchery

this witch is summoning all things steampunk!  i've made another DT creation for the lunagirl moonbeams "witchery" challenge which i am also entering into the tag along challenge "steampunk hallow e'en" challenge.  while i'm at it i'm linking to the belli challenge "hallow e'en" theme.

the summoning witch, the butterfly and the hot air balloon are all from collage sheets by lunagirl. there is background paper from 7 gypsies, a torn witch's stew recipe label from k & company.  the remaining steampunk images are from dover publications and the cog brad is from alphastamps. oh, the spiders are from random sticker sheets i had.

love to all.

trick or witchery...

"witchery" is the new challenge at lunagirl moonbeams so in the hallowe'en spirit you are invited to link up your artistic creations featuring witches whether they are sweet, spooky or comical.   i think the witches in this vintage photo provided by lunagirl are all three: "just one last cup of tea before we go off to trick or treat girls!"

you may recognize the background from another recently posted creation.  it is another piece of my cardboard which i'd covered in gesso, stamped with french script, then stenciled with a flower stencil.  i put a piece of that on some orange cardstock, added my distressed image of the witches and arranged some other embellishments to finish this piece.

please enjoy and consider joining our challenge!
love to all.
