Merry Hallowe'en from the lucky black cat

After all those intricate Hallowe'en cards I've shared with you over the month, I thought I'd finish up with a simple one.

"Hissssss"

I love this image & frame from the Graphics Fairy. It didn't need much to turn it into a card. Just an extra frame lifted with foam tape, some orange glitter on the moon, and the cat's eyes coloured green and covered in glossy accents. So here's a "Merry Hallowe'en" to you all!

Owls and witches and black cats

Sometimes I think I'm turning into a one-woman advert for the Graphics Fairy, but her images are so good and she's so generous letting us use them for free. This Hallowe'en card features more of her images


"Hallowe'en card front"

It's hard to see in the photograph, but the main image is decoupaged and highlighted with glitter, especially the witch's eyes and the pumpkin cut-outs. That's a very large, fat owl there. Guess he must have eaten a lot of mice! Now where is that black cat...?


"Hallowe'en card inside showing pop-up black cat"

He pops-up out of nowhere - this card uses the Sizzix twister pop-up die for the mechanism, so as the card is opened, the cat twists round to face you. Some of my precious Tim Holtz' Lost and Found paper stash was used for the lettering - the grungy look goes quite well with the feel of the card. The cat's eyes were highlighted in promarker and then covered in glossy accents. He looks just like our little Lucky :)

Not too scary - another Hallowe'en tunnel card

Just a quickie this evening. I made this "not too scary" Hallowe'en card for my m-i-l. The cat looks so like our little one, I just love it! The image is from the Graphics Fairy, and the other embellishments are from a pack of stickers I bought in a Supermarket last year. mil wants me to add a nose :)
