Don’t you just love this inspiration board?  Jenn did an amazing job picking some PURRFECT spooky images and I was naturally drawn to the cat silhouette! I blended my orange background using Distress inks and then used a partial die-cutting technique to create the aperture with the cat sitting just like in the photo above!  I added some little stars from Retro Ornaments and the Boo sentiment from Bag It and Tag It from Taylored Expressions before adding a light layer of shimmer.  It’s so sparkly in real life!

Trick Or Treat!

Sliding in with a quick Halloween card before the big night tomorrow!  I used the Pick N Mix stamp set and dies from Avery Elle to create my little treat bag filled with glossy candy corn – yum!!

Isn’t that the most fabulous Halloweeny inspiration board?  I love it – and I love all things Halloween so I had a TON of fun creating my card for this week’s challenge!  I made my card base from black card and cut a frame using the MFT Fishtail Flags dies.  I created a panel for the front of the card coloured with a blend of Distress inks and adhered it onto the base card.  On a separate piece of card I did some more ink blending bringing more shades with Spiced marmalade and Ripe Persimmon with Wilted Violet into Seedless Preserves at the bottom.  I then took some of the images from the Halloween Charms set from Stampendous and created a little spooky scene in black.  I adhered the frame over this and popped it up onto the front of the card.
