WMSC #64

Morning all, I have finally finished my card for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.

The sketch is very open to interpretation, and I decided to use one of my new Halloween stamps from Claire, Cicely at Halloween. The images in this set are beautifully vintage in style, and evoke an era of times gone by a la Enid Blyton.

So here's the sketch:
And here's Cicely, coloured with Staedtler Soft Colour Pencils. I wanted her to have a glow, like the Ready Brek child (remember that advert?) and thought the pencils would give the image a softer feel all round.



She is being chased by bats, and doesn't she look terrified!



I kept the background simple, to give Cicely the focal point, she is such a gorgeous image to colour.



The little sentiment is also from the same stamp set, mounted onto some green ruffled trim by American Crafts.



The background is stamped with the stars stamp from the same set, in Versafine Vintage Sepia.



I had a lot of fun colouring this sweetie in, I'm going to try some different colours today!

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
