Hubble 'Bauble', Toil and Trouble by Maggs Barrett

Design team member Maggs Barrett uses a trick or two to cook up a treat for Halloween.

She stamps our classic Witch and Cauldron onto clear acetate before locking her up in a bauble with all manner of spooky artefacts.

: Cut out a 15cm circle from heat-resistant acetate. Be sure to cut a little square tag at the top of the circle, to enable snug insertion into the bauble.

: Stamp the Witch and Cauldron with Versamark watermark stamp pad (Dusting your acetate with a dust buddy will help to prevent stray bits of embossing powder getting everywhere). Cover with your black embossing powder, tap off the excess and use a heat gun to set.

: Use Versafine inks and Lavinia Mask set for your moon and night background.

: Use Posca pens or alcohol pens of your choice to do spirals of smoke and the rusty patches on the cauldron

: Use your own choice of materials to decorate. I have used black tulle, threaded cotton 1/4 way down, all along the edge, then pulled the cotton to give gather, then tied onto bauble. I added some black feathers and mini pumpkins, then tied some ribbon and ribbon leaves

I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial, and maybe make your own spooky bauble.Maggs
