Happy Monday Everyone! If you have been following me for a while, you may remember how much I loved the Sweet November line of images illustrated by the very talented Amy Young. A few years ago, she stopped releasing new images for Sweet November and I have always, always missed them. I was so happy and delighted when I saw her announcement that she was returning to the land of Sweet November and that 7 Kids Craft store would be releasing a Halloween set of digital stamps. I bought all four of her images and also got a background bundle of 4 other images. I was so excited that I already have created a card!
I decided to start with this image; Spider Web Sylvia but I sized her quite big and cropped out a lot of the image. I wanted a close-up of her face. At the same time, I added this sentiment. I thought it went well with the image. I think that she looks to intent in her spell casting! This is why I love digital images. You can really change their size and add you own sentiments and/or combine them effortlessly with other images.
I also set the opacity of the image to quite low (14%) so that the lines were very, very faint. I haven’t used this “no-line” coloring technique in a while as it is a bit more challenging and requires a lot more time. Since it was the long weekend and I did find myself with some “me” time, I took the opportunity to really enjoy and relax and color this image up. I am super happy with how it all turned out!
I used a TON of markers! Here is the very long list ;)
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R30, R20
Eyelids: BV000, BV00, BV01
Lips: E11, E04
Hair: E50, E33, E15, E17, E10
Hat & Dress: 0, N1, N3, N5, N7
Background:BV000, BV00, BV01, BV02
I traced the lines of the spiderweb and the lines around her neckline with a POSCA white pen. I love how it pops on the card! I also couldn’t resist adding some glitter to her eyelids courtesy of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen!
I am going to enter this over at the 7 Kids Customers Create page on Facebook. They are having a little challenge and the lucky winner will win the October release from Sweet November! I am just stoked that there is going to be another release! Cannot wait!

Have a great day!
Hugs Jeanette
