🌹Beware the Crimson Rose Witch
🌹
Wall Art by Leigh

Urban legend says if you look deep into a mirror while holding a crimson rose on All Hallow's Eve  you will see the demonic face of the Crimson Rose Witch screaming at you from beyond!  Only those pure of heart have survived such a sighting.....do you dare to find out how pure YOUR heart is?  mwahahahaha🙀


BOO!
Did you jump?  LOL👻


For my creeptastic mirror I used The Zombie Scream and Gothic Rose.
 The Gothic frame was die cut after I printed her out and coloured her up.  I then die cut two more frames from heavy weight black cardstock and adhered them all together to make a nice substantial Gothic frame for my mirror.  I used Black Soot Distress Stain and Ink to colour the front frame black, antiqued it with gold rub-on creme.  The ruby jewels are Nuvo Crystal drops and I embellished the frame with a dark red silk bow and used black silk ribbon to make the little hanger.


Eeeeek....my Evangeline Ghastly witch is proudly showing off her ancestor!


Phew...Neo is pure of heart❤️


Materials used:
Strathmore Pencils cardstock
Black Cardstock
Fleur de Elegance Spellbinders die
Prismacolor pencils
Derwent Pastel pencils
Dove Blender pen
Black Soot Distress Stain
Black Soot Distress Ink
Gold rub-on creme
Autumn Red Nuvo Crystal Drops
Black and dark red silk ribbon
Glue dots
Scotch Quick Dry adhesive
