Flowers & Pumpkin Witch – Krista Smith Stamps

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back with another edition of Nancy and Jill Color Together! If you saw last month’s post, you know that Jill Killeen of Killeen House Studio asked me to participate in a monthly challenge with her where we would color the same image and see how we each interpreted it. This month, we’re coloring the Flowers & Pumpkin Witch from Krista Smith Stamps. As you’ll see in a moment, Jill and I went in completely opposite directions with this one! As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

So here’s my interpretation of this month’s image!

FLOWERS & PUMPKIN WITCH
SIZE
: A2
Featured products:

I printed the image on Hammermill Cardstock and colored it with Copic markers (see list below). I recently purchased the Rectangular Infinity Dies from Hero Arts and they really came in handy here. My witch is a little more pumpkin spice than Halloween scary so I stuck to more muted tones, relying on more saturated colors and playing up the gray undertone.

We use digital stamps in our challenge and I know that some of you find that in and of itself to be a challenge. So I’ve got a video over on my YouTube channel showing how I print digital stamps for Power Poppy. Check it out!

Now Jill went the complete opposite extreme and her little witch just may show up on your doorstep this month. Hope you have plenty of candy! Check out her blog post describing her card.

I laughed when I saw how different our interpretations were of the same image. But I loved Jill’s color choices and how far she took the Halloween theme. Check out her blog post describing her card and give her post some love!

That’s all for today! Thanks for stopping by!
