Black and Orange

Happy Halloween!

We received a foot of snow yesterday, so it seems more like February than the last day of October. 

Yikes!

Our next challenge at Victorine Originals is to use the colors black and orange. 

I decided to make a circle easel card. 

I used the Witch with Cauldron (2652H)  and colored the image with copics. I cut the main image with a circle nestie and layered it onto a picot circle nestie. 

Spider was cut from a MS punch and glittered with Ranger Black diamond Stickles.

DP is Authentique Glowing.
