WITCH HAZEL ULTIMATELY LOST HER MIND

To create these, I started with printed or gelli printed backgrounds, next came a layer for under the beautiful witch images from Gecko Galz from the Hocus Pocus collage sheet on Etsy, which I fussy cut. FYI, I just adored them all. Then comes the embellishments like , die cut fence,  die cut web green fiber trim, a moon or black fiber. The sentiments some next and the ribbons for the tags.  I always finish off with some glitter from Stickles.

Hope you are enjoying your fall.
