I have to write up todays post really quickly, I am writing this on my break at work with my ipad, so no editing like I usually do. This is a card for
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #114, a cute sketch by the sweet and talented Anya Schrier. I wasn't going to do this week's sketch because I am not one to add lots of little embellishments on cards and all those circles threw me, but I decided to give it a try and turned the circles into the steam from Wanda's cauldron. The papers are from MME, Haunted collection and the stamps are from
Halloween Party and
Hocus Pocus. The great steamy swirl is from
Flourishes Scallops and Dots. All the images are embossed and are super shiny, which turned out to be difficult to photograph, but sure do pop in real life. I added some rhinestones as bling representing all those little circles in the sketch. Thanks for taking a look and now, back to work!

Oh it's PERFECT like this, Cathy! I just knew everyone was going to have unique takes on all those little circles. Love the bubbling cauldron and the awesome background papers! BeWITCHing for sure :)!!
That is a wicked card Cathy! Love it!
Ok, this is the best idea, to use the flourishes like that! Love the added bling. Cathy I love your card and your take on the sketch. Sure is fun making Halloween cards.
Love it! I think the bling on the "steam" is perfect!
I love the blingy steam...
so perfect!! :)
And how did you get Wanda so perfectly embossed...
can you tell I have a hard time embossing solid images? ;)
Love this take on the sketch...
I know I struggled a bit with what to do with all the "bubbles"...
for some reason circles don't like me very much...
squares are my friend though *giggle*...
but once I got down to it...
it's such a FUN sketch!! :)
What a great card. So smart to turn those circles into steam and bling. You really made the best of that sketch. And, your embossing is great, too. I believe you when you say it really pops in real live. Your staging is great with those sparkly spiders.
Fabulous take on the sketch, Cathy! Fantastic idea to use the flourish and bling to represent the cluster of circles. And Wanda looks so cool all embossed and shiny! Really love your awesome card!
What a great card, Cathy! Love the flourishes with the bling!
Oh man, this looks cool! I love that neat "steam" coming out of the cauldron, and that cool paper you used!
The STEAM is a perfect use of that stamp!!! Ahhh...Halloween and WMS go together and you showed it beautifully!
Oh my goodness, I think I have to run and grab my flourish stamps right now and replicate this card! I LOVE the flourishes coming out of that boiling pot! Totally bewitching! Thanks for joining us this week at Waltzingmouse!
Cathy - this is so cool - love the gems in the swirl of steam from the cauldron and all the layers! Wanda never looked better!
This is super, Cathy! I love the flourish coming out of Wanda's cauldron!
Cathy, this is so stunning and I am so happy that I have all of the goodies to case your card. This is just an amazing card and I just love Miss Wanda and all of that magic spewing from that cauldron, so perfect.
