The Simply Betty Blog.
I discovered Simply Betty Stamps over a year ago when I was searching for a Jack Skellington digi to create a card for my oldest daughter. Jack is her absolute favorite character. In fact, she has an adult-sized Jack Skellington doll in her room. Since then, Betty's stamps have become one of my faves to work with.
Recently, she released
The Betty Villains, and OH MY! I just had to have the entire set! I was hoping to enter one of the recent Halloween challenges over at the
Simply Challenged Challenges blog with one of the images, but with everything going on at home, I wasn't able to complete it on time! So, I decided to finish it up and use it for this hop.
The challenge was the Sweet Treats challenge with a choice of using candy corn or caramel apples as your inspiration. I decided to go with caramel apples.
I used brown and green for my color scheme. I went with Betty Sea Witch simply because I was dying to color her. I know she doesn't really "go" with the sentiment, but like I said, I just HAD to color her! I used bright green Copics as well as browns that I thought resembled a caramel brown.
The sentiment I used was actually the sentiment meant for the Evil Queen (Snow White) digi, but because this was a caramel-apple-inspired card, I decided to use it on this card. I had some Halloween paper in my stash that was bright apple green and covered with eyeballs. LOL I used an apple embossing folder on some brown cardstock, added bright green ribbon and twine, and also added an apple charm to complete my card.
I really had a lot of fun coloring Betty Sea Witch even though it took me about six tries before I was satisfied!
