Hi crafty friends! Anna here, and today I'm excited to share a fun Halloween project featuring the adorable Hocus Pocus witches from C.C. Designs. Instead of making a traditional card, I decided to create a pair of decorative tags. I love making tags because they're perfect for adding to gifts, treat bags, or even using as Halloween decorations. I colored both witches with my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, using soft shading to bring out their sweet expressions while keeping the playful Halloween feeling. For the color palette, I combined bright oranges, greens, pinks, and deep black to create a fun contrast...

I blended Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks through the stencil, adding soft layers of color while keeping the focus on the chef. I finished the background with both white and red splatters to add texture and tie in...

The moody colors create the perfect backdrop for these two lovebirds who prove that true love really is forever. A few black sequins and a distressed black...
