The Cutting Cafe` - The Bad Witch

Hey everyone, here is a card I made for The Cutting Cafe` using The Halloween Time Printable Stamp Set. This set comes with 55 images! It was hard to choose which ones I wanted to play with. I decided to go with the theme The Wizard of Oz. So I chose "The BAD witch" sentiment and the witch's stockings/shoes. This card was inspired by the scene where the house falls on the wicked witch, LOL. The scale may not be exact but you get the idea =)






I had a blast making this. It has all the elements that I love: lace, bling, flowers and glitter.

Supplies:
The Cutting Cafe` Printable Stamp Set - Halloween Time
Tim Holtz Memo Pins

Good morning everyone. I decided to change my blog address. It used to be scrapwithjo.blogspot.com, now it has become paperdrama.blogspot.com.

But if you have my blog on your blog list as a link on your blog, please update the blog address. Thank you so much for your continued support and for leaving comments here. Hope you guys had a great Labor Day weekend for those who live in the states.

Bazzill textured cardstock was used for the base of the card (5 1/2" x 5 1/2"). Also by participating in this challenge, you will be entered in a drawing to win a Halloween kit:
