Prowling black cats

Good morning - Fall is well under way here now. Our gorgeous maple tree has started to turn red and the mornings are definitely cooler!

 

Halloween is just a couple of weeks away and I am really enjoying all the spooky crafty goodies that are available.

Today is my day to showcase over on the So Suzy Stamps blogs and  I am loving the Halloween stamps that She has brought to us this month.

 

There are some fab ones, I just love the sentiment I have used on my showcase card today:

 

 

Black Cats Prowl!

For my card I have used black and orange card - first matting my card blank with the black. I have then used a Poppy Stamp die for the cat face and cut it into my top layer. I have stamped the wonderful sentiment in black ink and colored 2 of the mini chipboard ghosts black. positioning these around the sentiment.

I have then used a Cottage Cutz die to cut my border and added some black enamel dots.

Kathy and her Sweaters!

Good afternoon I'm here again with my second blog post of the day!

 

It's my day to showcase over at Jiggery Makery and as it's cooled off a bit today I thought I'd make another Christmas card.

 

Kathy is making her second appearance on my blog in one of her wonderful sweaters

 

 

I have used an 8x8in card blank for this card and matted it with silver mirror card and the gorgeous snowflake paper from Lili of the Valley.

Kathy has been colored using my Spectrum Noir markers and I have glittered the white on her Santa hat.

I typed up the sentiment on my laptop - don't you find that aunts buy you the most obscure gifts at times????

I matted the image with Mirror card and placed it at a jaunty angle on my card.

The flower is made from 2 die cut lacy poinsettias and a crystal gem. I have then added card candi to the opposite corner to balance the card.

 

 You can buy the image over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy store along with her other pin-up pals.
