So Cute…it’s Scary!!

Good morning!  Jessica here with a cute Halloween card featuring an adorable kitty from The Greeting Farm against a spooky night sky!

The expression on the cat makes me laugh everytime I look at him…he’s so cute!  To create my card I started by stamping the cat from Scaredy Cats onto Neenah Solar White cardstock with Versafine and heat-embossing him with clear embossing powder.  Then I colored him with copic markers and die-cut him with the coordinating dies.  I decided to cut out the little area between his tail and his body with a craft knife so there wouldn’t be so much white space.  I went over his hat with the spectrum noir clear sparkle marker for a little extra sparkle.  Next I die-cut the stitched fishtail banner from black cardstock, stamped the sentiment from Scaredy Cats with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.

Then it was time to work on my night sky.  I started by blending Mustard Seed, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, and Peacock Feathers distress ink onto watercolor paper in a random pattern.  It looks pretty awful at this point but just wait! 😉

Once it dried I flicked water over it, waited 15 seconds and then blotted it off.  Then I repeated the process but waited a minute before blotting off the water which results in lighter spots.  I also flicked white and silver paint across the panel to create lots of stars in my sky.  I let it dry overnight and then die-cut it with a stitched square die from Lawn Fawn.  Doesn’t it look better now! 🙂

Then I adhered the watercolor panel to a black cardbase, added the sentiment banner, and adhered my kitty with foam mounting tape for a little dimension.  Finally I scattered a few onyx sequins across my card!

I hope you liked my “so cute it’s scary” Halloween card!  Thanks so much for visiting today and have a wonderful weekend!
