It's Halloween and we're getting ready for the neighborhood trick or treat traffic. I almost forgot to post this card I made weeks ago for our grandniece. She has a black cat named Smokey so I knew this would be perfect for her. For some unknown reason, I forgot to take a picture of this card before I mailed it. So I asked my niece to send me a picture. And here it is:
I blended distress inks onto white card stock and then cut out a panel using a stitched die. I inked up the panel with Versamark and heat embossed it so it shines, which is hard to tell in the picture. I cut the pumpkin using an image from my SNC2. The cat is from some Stampin' Up paper (sorry, I don't know the name). I stamped and hand cut the sentiment.
Cardstock: Recollections 110 lb, my stash, and Stampin' Up
Die Cut Pumpkin: Scan and Cut 2 image
Inks: Dusty Concord, Chiped Sapphire, Mowed Lawn & Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks; Versamark; Memento Black
Sentiment: Hampton Art
Die: Fawn Lawn Stitched Rectangles
Challenges:
