Altered Art Halloween Cards from Digital Collage Sheet

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This year I made the following nine Halloween greeting cards using the Digital Collage Sheet, Halloween Witches, ATC, ACEO sized, 2.5 X 3.5, Halloween Children (Sheet no. H39) Instant Download from Lisa's Altered Art Shop on Etsy.

I printed the collage sheet on a piece of matte photo paper that measured 8.5" by 11". I got nine unique pieces of art that each measured 2.5" by 3.5". 

I cut out the nine individual cards and covered each one with a thin film of Tim Holtz Distress Glaze. I wiped the glaze off with a piece of paper towel. This product left a beautiful satin finish on the surface of the cards.

I used cardstock from the Tim Holtz Halloween pack (2017) and matching Tim Holtz washi tape. The sentiments are from the Tim Holtz Clippings collection.

I used kraft cardstock for the base that measured 4.25" by 5.5".

Little Witches Halloween Cards

Maurie Manning released two little witch digital stamps for the 2017 Halloween season.

The image on the left is "Little Witch Henrietta."  This digi set came with two sentiments; "Boo" and "Witching you a happy Halloween." 

The base for this project is a blank 4.25" by 5.5" kraft card. (A2)

I printed the digital image and sentiment on white cardstsock and colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and Gamsol.

I used some orange and aqua patterned paper from the Que Sera Sera paper pad from K and Company. I embellished the card with a piece of lavender curling ribbon.

The second little witch digital stamp is "Little Witch Wendolyn." This digi set came with three sentiments; "Bewitching!", "You're Invited!" and "Bring Your Own Broom." 

I used a blank A2 size kraft card as the base for this project.

I printed the digital stamp and sentiment on a piece of white cardstock that was die-cut with a stitched rectangle die. I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and Gamsol. I highlighted the hair, flowers and patches with bright-colored gel pens. I embellished the card with a floral die cut. 

The background paper is from the Que Sera Sera paper pack by K and Company. 

I enjoyed making these cards and I think they turned out super cute. I wish you a happy and safe Halloween!

Candy Apple Witch Halloween Card

I think this little witch is my favorite image for my Halloween cards this year.  

These are the supplies I used to make this card:

A blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 7".

Purple and orange patterned paper from my stash. 

"Candy Cane Witch" digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers. I distressed the background with Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink.

I layered the purple and orange patterned paper under the image and attached them to the card.

I added some "Glossy Accents" to the buckle on the hat and some shiny star stickers to the background. I finished the card with a piece of lavender seam binding.

I am entering this card in the Simon Says: Halloween Inspiration Challenge.

About The Author
Caroline Mickelson loves her family and loves to write.  She lives in the American southwest with her husband and their four children.

She Uses Her Magic To Make Sure She Gets Her Way

Contessa Von Hellengaard is a real witch living in a normal world. Tessa is selfish, rude, and if anyone or anything gets in the way of what she wants, she uses her magic to make sure she gets her way.

The other witches in her coven see her behavior as a problem that is eventually going to have them all exposed. They have tried talking to her time and again, but they see no change in her personality. At their latest meeting, the others have planned an intervention of sorts.

They introduce her to Liam Kennedy. Little does she know, her life is about to drastically change. Liam is her charming fairy godfather. He takes her on a journey to better herself and teach her a few lessons. Tessa and Liam go to a beautiful resort. When Tessa wakes in the morning, she has gained hundreds of pounds, her beloved black cat is a white dog, and her magic no longer works.

She learns that she is in a camp to lose weight.  Although enraged, Tessa has no other option but to go along with the rules. As she sheds the pounds, she also gains a few friends, learns to love herself, and may even fall in love.

Will this all be for the best, or will she end up heartbroken wishing she could go back to her less caring days?

This paranormal romance is a fun and fast novella. It was touching at times and comedic at others. If you are looking for a good, quick read, I definitely recommend Mickelson’s Witch Weigh.
