Conjurer of Dreams: Witch Wisdom


 Hello


Today I'm sharing some projects I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

We have a new, open, worldwide challenge at the Conjurer of Dreams Blog.
The challenge theme is always 'Anything Goes', and this month's optional theme is 
'Witch Wisdom'.
We hope you'll share your projects with us.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where we would love for you to share your Conjurer of Dream projects.

Here are my DT makes:

A mini book
with words from The Enchanted Forest;


Here are close ups of the individual book parts:


The front has a circular aperture showing the first page along with the title. The book ties with a distress oxide-dyed, crinkle ribbon. 
The pages are finger painted with PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk paints.
The back is left plain:

The first page features a Twilight Moon background and a Blackberry Witch. 
All the images in the mini book are from these 2 sets.

*
The forest, moon and blackberries held by the witch are sparkly - Stickles glitter was applied.

The images were die cut to give a slightly distressed appearance and they were inked in black around the edges.

The book is bound with painted strips of paper attached to two pages, then the pages are glued back to back.

The poem was typed and printed. It was cut into strips and attached to each page.

A treat box/bag:

For the front and back of the treat bag, I used 2 die cut dex card and cut off the disc binder part. They were then covered with background paper and decoupaged with images.

The background papers are from the Potion Notes.


I cut a second potion Notes and fussy cut the bottles and added them on foam for dimension. The lovely witch is from the set called Autumn Witch. She's also popped on foam with some dyed cheesecloth behind her.


The back of the bag is plain - just the Portion Note paper edged with Vintage Photo ink.
It's perfect for Halloween treats like these yummy chocolate eyeballs!

   

The sides, bottom and top of the bag are created from a single strip of black card, which was glued in place and cut to form a tuck down lid. The card was covered with distress oxide smooshed card to match the colour of the Potion Notes background.
I used my crop-a-dile to add eyelets to the sides and I made a twisted wire handle which was threaded through the eyelet holes.

Notecards:



The witch Characters are .png clip art files, so I digitally added them to the armoire backgrounds then printed them out. 
I added stamping, in the form of spiders' webs and spiders on threads., and heat embossed them. 

They were added to black die cut mats (Lawn Fawn) which have silver embossed webs stamped upon them. Then they were matted onto purple card and placed on a blank white greeting card.


The sentiments were taped, printed and adhered.

Halloween Diorama 

I had fun making this diorama from paper cut outs and dies.


The houses are not from Conjurer of Dreams, but the 
Witch Characters are and the cauldron and potion bottles are from Witch Quotes and Elements.
Here is the diorama from a different angle - the witch next door is saying hello and giving you a wave!
