Digi Haven Challenge with Broken Box Designs

It's time for another fortnight challenge at DIGI HAVEN
 
Our THEME for the new challenge is ORANGE and BLACK
 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Broken Box Design
Design Team was able to play with some images
I choose to use the Spooky Witch, but I think she is rather cute and not Spooky at all

I made an easel card for this challenge - starting with black 6 x 6 cardstock base
My designer papers are from Doodlebug Design, Inc. 6 x 6 pad - Haunted Manor
Copic markers used - C-3, C-5, E00, E02, E11, E35, E37, G07, G14, YR00,YR02, YR04, YR07
Sentiment is an old Close to My Heart stamp from the C1431 set - In the Month of October
Finished the card with washi tape, metal tag, orange buttons with black floss and twine

I have to admit that I was having some issues with coloring the little spaces on this image,
therefore she ended up being paper pieced because the broom colors were bleeding out
But in the end...I like it, especially my little tag :)

If you would like to play along with us - go to the How to Play tab
Remember to use a digital image on your card

Now take a few minutes to get inspired by what the rest of the Design Team has created
Visit their blogs and leave some comment love!

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at my card
Have a wonderful weekend filled with Blessings

"Don't judge each day...

by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant" - Robert Louis Stevenson
 
I love this quote - it makes you stop and think about the seeds that you are planting everyday

This quote is also on the wonderful image Harvest Medley at From the Heart Stamps
This challenge is another progressive, monthly challenge that I have enjoyed participating in
EVERYONE is a winner! 
There's still time to play, you can purchase this image,

I also found this wonderful sketch to use at Deconstructed Sketch #123
 
 
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
 
 
To make my card I started with Black A2 base
The next paper layer and circles are from Authentique: Enchanted 6 x 6 pad
I also use a piece of olive green cardstock for the banner
Image was colored with Copic markers:  E33, G21, G99, Y17, Y21, YG63, YR02, YR16
To finish the card I added flowers by Petaloo, jute and a brad in the center of the jute ribbon/bow
