Hi Lavinians 🧚♀️ Hope you enjoy today’s tutorial named “The Three Witches ”
Hello Everyone, it’s Eleana here, but you can call me Ellie. Isn’t this new Dream Witch collection fabulous? I know you all have been waiting for something like this and I absolutely love this collection.
I hope you will enjoy it and it will give you some inspiration to make a three circled card.
Take care and Happy Crafting to you all. Ellie x
Photo 1 – Using a circle cutter I made six 6” circles from Black Card and three 5.5” circles using cream card and finally three 5” circles using white card. When using the circle cutter, I found it best to tape the card down whilst putting a bit of pressure on the dome and pressure on the blade point. Move the arm around and you will hear the blade cut through your card. Just in case it hasn’t cut through your card properly in areas, just gently remove it and with a nail file just rub those pieces off. You will then have your circle.
Photo 2 – With the three white circles that you have cut you will need to create a background. I used watercolour pencils to quickly colour in. I used the following colours of Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils: 3710/61 Sap Green, 3710/04 Dark Yellow, 3710/57 Burnt Ochre, 3710/30 Indian Red and 3710/36 Black
Photo 3 - With a watercolour brush and some water, activate the colour and blend them together. Don't forget to dry them completely with your heat gun before you start any stamping on them. 
Photo 4 – Stamp Faba (LAV913), Hattie (LAV916) (LAV914) and Marcie in the centre of their own circle in Versafine Clair Nocturne. Then stamp the Tree of Spirits (LAV918) in second generation of Versafine Clair Morning Mist on the left of the circle with Faba (LAV913) and on the right of the circle with Marcie. Again in second generation Versafine Clair Morning Mist stamp the two cats, Mini Rune and Mini Jinx on either side of Hattie (LAV916) (LAV914).
Photo 5 – Stamp the Woodland Fern stamp in a mixture of Versafine Clair Spruce, Shady Lane and a few in Nocturne. I also stamped a few in second generation of those ink colours.
Photo 6 – Now we add some dots with a quickie glue pen. Then giving it a quick blast with the heat gun to make the dots tacky place the foil over the work (shiny colour side up) and rub the foil over the dots and then gently remove it to reveal the dots. Blend some Elements ink Graphite around the edge of the card.
Photo 7 – Dry the ink quickly with a heat tool and stamp the Magical Mist stamp in Versamark and gently brushed on some Iridescent Green mica minerals.
Photo 8 – Glue the three cream circles onto three of the black circles, leaving three circles spare to use later on. I’ve used Bippity Boppity Glue.
Photo 9 – Cut two pieces of card that are 2” long and 1 ½” wide. Fold it in half along the 2” side.
Photo 10 – Glue those little pieces on to the back of the card so that the circles are connected making sure they are straight. (I’ve only shown you two circles, but all three circles need to be connected.)
Photo 11 – With the remaining three black circles glue them to the back of the card to hide those tabs.
Photo 12 – Add some colour to the dresses and highlights using Mondeluz watercolour pencils. Then use some PanPastels to create some white orbs floating around the witches. Then add some sparkle to the dresses using a glitter pen and some Stickles around the Woodland Fern.
Photo 13 – Now your card is finished. Look how beautiful the three witch filled circles look. It can be folded up and fit into an envelope to be post if need be.
I hope you have enjoyed this and it gives you some inspiration to try it or to do the 3 circles.
Happy Crafting to you all and take care. Bye for now. Ellie x
