Witchy in purple

Nothing like coming in under the wire. The Anita Be Stampin' pretty in purple challenge ends tonight. So, when did I work on a project? You guessed it...tonight. The challenge was to use light purple, dark purple, yellow, and kraft. My yellow is in the image, on her hair. Otherwise, I pretty much stuck with the purple and kraft. I made a magnet to hang on my fridge. Here she is:

I used my an image from Anita Be Stampin'. This little cutie is named Tabitha and she comes with her friend, the bat. In this case, she has her friend, the flying monkey! I have a thing for the flying monkeys. I don't know why. I've got flying monkey figurines, signs, even a snow globe. Well, a couple of years ago, my cousin found these little rubber flying monkeys in a novelty shop. She got me a few packs, figuring I could use them on something. In this case, I used my awesome KI Gloo and glued one on to the hanging part of the magnet. I cut around the image with the scalloped circle spellbinders, then inked the edges of the scallops and all of the papers with creamy brown cat's eye ink. I used my paper piercer to pierce holes around the edges of the scalloped circle.

It's hard to tell here, but the large portion of the project is 4x6 and will fit into one of those clear acrylic photo holders that has a magnet on the back. You can get them for a buck at AC Moore and Michael's. The the bottom part of the sentiment ("I have flying monkeys, and I'm not afraid to use them!") will hang freely. To make sure the magnet does not slide out, I'll use some adhesive along the bottom edge of the acrylic frame. The pink grid in the backgrounds is my Fiskars self-healing cutting mat.

Since this is a magnet and will go into a flat frame, I had to keep the dimension to a minimum. Therefore, I used gold cord that squishes a bit, and rather than adding pearls or rhinestones, I used liquid pearls. Once they are totally dry, they'll flatten out but still add visual interest.

Tabitha is colored with the following copics:

 
Thanks for stopping by. My flying monkeys are napping and all is good with the world tonight. Check in again tomorrow and I'm not sure I can say the same! I'm moody like that.
