WHOOO is Ready for Halloween?

Me - it's me. I'm ready. I've been ready for a month! So today I'm bringing you some sweet spookiness with my favorite colored pencils on pastel paper. I love this combo because it makes the pencils just glow.

I started with this grey toned paper - it has a rougher surface that grabs the soft pencil well - it's sort of like cold press watercolor paper. 

I stamped the little cauldron first and then masked it to stamp the adorable witch. I added the two kitties stamped in black and just added tiny white marks on their eyes. 

I started with white pencil as I almost always do to color the cauldron and witch - that's what makes even black pencil glow on dark paper. I chose a magenta pencil that matched my cardstock - it's easier if you just start that way, rather than trying to match paper to an already colored image. 



What are you doing for spooky season? I wish my yard was big enough for one of those giant skeletons! I'd totally do that! My neighbors always go all out. 

Have a great rest of your week!
