Another Halloween card today and this one was made specifically for a neighbor and friend who brought the silhouette image to me, asking me to create a card for her to give to her young grandson. It was on plain white paper when I received it. The image may have been done with a stencil but I'm basing that on nothing more than the way the ink was applied to the image. It may well have been a rubber stamp with ink blotted on the lighter side. All I really know is that the ink was very, very dry when she brought it over and it didn't smear when I used alcohol markers on it.
I colored the sky and the cat's eyes with ProMarkers and gel pens, then cut the image using a Spellbinders die. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. The little pumpkins were cut with a die from Impression Obsession and the moon was done with a Die-versions die. The bats on the moon are part of that Die-versions die. Everything was put on a black CS background.
Since the card is for a boy, I left it very CAS - no ribbons, no sparkle, no gems, no bows.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Hello, Connie! How appropriate that your neighbor would bring you a cat that is "looking at things from a different angle" like your blog header! This is a very cute card that I'm sure will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for bringing to us to appreciate at Two Old Bats.
Xoxo, Fran DT
PS: Love all of your cats!
Great little story!!! Love the image and the card. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the HLS die challenge blog!
Im in love with this little card, OMG!! he is just adorable and it looks even more so hanging on that branch.
My kitty "Ivy" does that when she's perched on her cat tree and she's playing with her tail, so darn adorable.
Thank you for sharing with us over at 2 OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE.
Stay healthy and safe.
