Glitterfied Birgitta

My pal J had this really ambitious goal of inking up all her uninked stamps by the end of August. Mad props to her for achieving that goal. I, on the other hand, proceeded to add even more uninked stamps to my pile. I pretty much doubled it with the addition of the C.C. Designs Take a Seat set, along with this cutie, Halloween Birgitta. But dude, how adorable are Sugar Plums and Swiss Pixies?!

Anyhoo, since I really should ink up uninked stamps, I decided to use this week's ATS Wed Challenge sketch to showcase Halloween Birgitta. I used Cosmo Cricket Matilda DP, choosing to keep the color scheme black, orange, and purple, as is the same as my last Halloween post. In place of the circular panel on the sketch, I die cut fluffy felt clouds using MFT Die-namics.

Close up of the sparkly explosion. I sprayed Tsukineko shimmer spritz on the black cardstock after I ran it through a polka dot Cuttlebug folder. Crystal Stickles were added to her wings, and I used a glue pen to outline the spiderweb on her hat and dress, and then proceeded to dump black glitter on it. Unfortunately, the glue pen was not fine tip, so I ended up with a black glittery mass. To uncover the spider web design, I took an Exact-O knife and nudged the black glitter mass back into the spider webby lines. As you can see, I worked hard on the hat... and gave up on the dress. =D

Then I decorated the interior. It kept turning out blurry no matter how many times I tried to take a picture of it, so this is the best I could do. I decorated the interior with a panel cut from Nestabilities Labels 9, a strip of Matilda DP, and a Jack o' Lantern stamp from My Favorite Things.
