Today's card is a 'challenging' image (for me) of Willow the Witch. She was challenging because I usually manage to freak out at this amount of fuss on an image (both the hat and the dress made me twitch) but I persevered and this is the result! I even added a bit of sparkle to the frilly bits.
I used a Simon Says Stamp Die (Stars Parade) as a stencil and used various shades of purple chalk to create the starry backdrop. I then stitched around the image before mounting it onto a simple black base card.
Here is the die cut with my chalky outlines! I kept the outside of the die intact as much as possible to stop excess chalk getting on my base card, but it was easy to remove any little smudges with a tiny pencil eraser.

Wonderful card! Love Stamping Bella!!! And the Idea with the stars is great! Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Creatalicious Challenge, Janine (DT)
I don't usually do Halloween either but it I was going to, Stamping Bella images would be at the top of my list to use! This is a fab image and oh my gosh, I am in awe of your colouring of the fluffy hat trimming and skirt...those folds are super duper amazing :-)
Using the die cut as a stencil is a brilliant idea and the soft detail of the stars frames the image beautifully.
Big hugs, Kat xx

Fabulous card and amazing colouring, as always. Don't do Halloween myself. Don't really get it. My son-in-laws' birthday is on Halloween, so his is the only card I make. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Oh Annette - this is an amazing card. You have coloured that gorgeous image beautifully - everything about it looks perfect, folds, sparkle, stars - total gorgeous ness all round - and using the stencil to add the star detail is absolute genius! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this.
