Again, I've combined my SC challenge with my Unik Hobby challenge;
For my October challenge, Malene at Unik Hobby, gave me this cute "Little Witch" stamp from Whiff of Joy with a sentiment attached.
I imediately thought of the words "Halloween" and "candles" when I saw this stamp, so I decided to make a Halloweenish giftbox out of it :)

Size: 12 x 12 cm

Ink: Adirondack - Espresso, Archival Ink - Jet Black, Distress Ink - Black Soot & Tea Dye.

Stamps: Whiff of Joy - "Little Witch" + Sentiment (inside), hÄnglar & stÄnglar - text.
