Flourishes Sneak Peeks Day Two

Hello Stampers~

Welcome to day two of Flourishes September sneak peeks!  Today the design team is showcasing a fabulous new set called Witching You a Happy Halloween.  This is one of the most awesome Halloween sets I have ever had the privilege of stamping with...love, love, LOVE it!

I chose a vintage look for my card.  When I think Halloween, I usually reach for black, orange, purple & green; but this time I thought I'd tone it down a bit.  I used the Venice paper pack from 7gypsies, stamped the broom image several times on it, and did some faux stitching with a Black Sakura Glaze Pen.  I also added the glaze to the boot laces and cat's eyes...cool, huh?!

The layout for my card is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch for this week.  It's a fun one to work with!

I colored the image with Copic markers, using the following colors:
