Spooky and Crafty with Kraft and Cat

I'm back.... with another Vintage Halloween Card made with a Digital image from Magic Moonlight Studio.  This was printed and matted on yellow CS that was embossed with Cuttlebug EF Forest Branches and inked with Red Ink.  I placed this on a Card Base of Kraft CS and added strip of ribbon, border of black drippy goo ( Martha Stewart punch), and bats ( Plumrose Lane digis).  I used Wink of Stella on the Cat's eyes and whiskers and the pumpkin eyes and mouth.....looks great in real life but not so much in the photo.

The Kraft Journal: Challenge #194 is color challenge using colors from the graphic on right.

Scary Cat on a Pumpkin

Hello!  For this Vintage Halloween card, I have used a Vintage image of the cat on a pumpkin from Plumrose Lane that I sized and printed and then fussy cut.  I arranged that with vintage looking pattern paper from Echo Park The Apothecary Emporium pad, 2 of which I cut with Cheery Lynn Swedish Spring Oval Frame doily die.  The card base is Slate gray CS layered with another pattern from the same pad. I placed some Kraft CS under the doily with the image before adhering to the card.  Added a black Olive branch cut with Cheery Lynn die, some red ribbon to the cat and glossy accents to the pumpkin. Colored the cat's hat red with a Copic.  Attached a Kraft tag stamped with MFP's stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black.

Scaredy Cat??

This week, Sugar Creek Hollow wants us to make a vintage or shabby chic card or other paper-crafted project featuring Vintage Animals.  Since I have been making Halloween and fall theme cards, I decided to use a digital image from Magic Moonlight of a Black Cat that is in my collection. I also added some cutout bats that I have on digi file from Plumrose Lane. After printing the image I distressed it and my background with some distress inks - Tea Dye and Wild  Honey. Placed the image on a mat of Black CS punched with Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Punch. My background is of yellow orange CS embossed with Cuttlebug EF Forest Branches and distressed with inks. Used a Purple Card base. Finished with Gold organza ribbon and bow. Thought this was a great scaredy cat in a pumpkin with the vintage script.

 I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
