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!
