I had made my cat already - stamped on watercolor paper, colored with Derwent pencils with a blender pen and cut out. I also stamped, colored and cut the broom and witches hat from the Crazy Things stamps and dies. I stamped the sentiment from Riley & Company on white card using Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black and fishtailed the end (see my technique here). I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card on the left hand side. I die cut the clouds out of the Lawn Fawn Blue Skies and edged them with Hickory Smoke ink, then set them aside.
I put the witches hat on my nervous kitty, added some comical googly eyes and set her onto the card. Using silver cardstock, I die cut the Starry Skies die and made a bunch of tiny stars. I then added the kitty and the broom onto the card. Filling in some of the negative space, I glued the tiny stars all around and then placed the large cloud. I used dimensional dots to adhere the smaller cloud just to add some interest.
Now I have got a huge stash of Halloween cards and each year it just gets bigger and bigger, any ideas on what I could do with them all? I'd love to hear your ideas in my comments!
Lastly, I have a small giveaway going on and here are all the details:

This little Halloween scene is beautiful and hilarious at the same time, which is really the perfect combination if you think about it, right? Your coloring technique is fabulous and I love the goggly eyes. I used to make lots of Halloween cards each year too and I sent them out to everyone I knew. This year however, I seem to have forgotten to make any so I dug deep into my card stash and found a few really old ones to send to my granddaughters. Everyone else will just have to make do with a Christmas card later in the year!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Fabulous idea to add googly eyes x
