I don't have a lot of Halloween stamps, but as I was looking through my stash, I had completely forgotten about this 2012 Stampin Up stamp Frightening Feline! This was probably the most simple card I've made in a long time!
I black embossed the image and then spritz the paper with water and added Ken Oliver orange Color Burst. Then, added some black sequins (the little bat is also a sequin) and finished the card with black/white bakers twine. Voila! Instant Halloween card!
Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration (and for helping find this cute stamp :)
Well Kathy, I'm sure glad you found this stamp, it's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous water color wash background for this spooky kitty.
Thank you for sharing your card with us at RETRO RUBBER, hope to see you back in the gallery soon.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

ReplyDeleteLove this card!! This is the first Halloween stamp I ever bought - how can I resist any cat stamp?! Your background is wonderful and makes the kitty look like he is a ghost almost. Thank you for playing along with Retro Rubber and hope you will join us again soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is super, Kathy! Love that cat and haven't used it in several years. I need to remedy that! Love that watercolor background!
