Witchy Gerty


Witchy Gerty, from Sparkle N Sprinkle loves Halloween and her favorite costume is a witch (surprise, surprise).  She loves going all out, including adding glitter to her fingernail polish :-).


Gerty is colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut out.  The apron is paper pieced.  Orange Surprise glitter was added to her nails and her hat band, as well as for the background.

The spider webs are dry embossed using an old QuicKuts embossing folder (appropriately named Spider Web), and then heat embossed using a Versamarker and Silver Pearl embossing powder.

The spider shaped buttons were enhanced using the Customize your Brads/Buttons technique and Ebony Spark embossing powder.  This is such a fun way to add sparkle and bling to your embellishments.

Hi, Anne! What can I say? This is one darling tag! You casually mentioned in a phone call that you cannot color well, and I truly disagree. Everything you do has marvelous detail and shading, and you put so much thought into your images. I ALWAYS forget about paper piecing, and Gerty's apron looks really great pieced together like that. Your fussy cutting is great! Loe all the sparklies, of course. Thank you for sharing! hugs, de
