Glow-in-the-Dark Witch

Hi there,

this is my third creation using the new Gerda Steiner Designs Halloween Kids Digital Stamp Bundle and on this card I used all the accessories provided in the bundle:

• color the scene using all the accessories from the Gerda Steiner Designs Halloween Kids Digital Stamp Bundle with watered-down Distress Inks (Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Chipped Sapphire, Pine Needles), Derwent Inktense Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• add white highlights to the sentiment with a white gel pen

What makes this card extra special are the glow-in-the dark Nuvo Drops Banana Split that I added as stars - I hope you can see it in this last photo. It was kind of hard to take a picture in the dark :o)

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
