There's a story behind this card today and I will share with you the short version. Belladona, the cat image from Beccy's Place, really wanted his own witch hat to wear on Halloween. But his witch was so busy preparing potions and spells for the big, spooky night that she had no time to make one for him. So she found one of her old hats (also a Beccy's Place image and it's a freebie on the challenge post today) and tossed it over to Belladona.
You can see Belladona's reaction in both his expression and in the sentiment. :-D
I merged the images together before printing it. Even though the images are mostly silhouettes, I used Sanjoki markers to color the cat's eyes and the flowers on the hat. They are from different sets but I think they work perfectly together. I cut the merged images with a QuicKutz die, then rounded the corners with a Fiskars punch.
The dp is from Recollections, the glitter CS is a scrap, and the bow is hand-tied, then dyed with a marker to get the exact orange I wanted. The ribbon started out white. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. I inked the edges of both the image piece and the sentiment with a marker.

Love it NanaConnie! Your little tale of the cat and the hat gave me a chuckle, and I love how you've used the images and the sentiment to illustrate it. So clever!
