Halloween Night Kitty

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I’m sharing a sparkly Halloween card using the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. These work well together to create seasonal cards.

I created the background using watercolour paper, a moon stencil, and Distress Spray Stains. I added temporary adhesive to the moon mask, then used Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon, and Lost Shadow Distress Spray Stains. Next, I sprayed Snow Flurries Mica Stain for sparkle.

I removed the mask and blended Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide and Lemon Drop by Gina K Designs. I spritzed water on the background, letting some blue ink bleed over the moon for a spooky effect. I used a stitched rectangle die to trim the panel, and stuck it to a black card base using liquid glue.  

Next, I used Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress watercolour pencils on watercolour paper. To create the effect, I softened the pencils in water, scribbled them on a craft mat, and spritzed the ink with water. I pressed the watercolour paper into the ink and then heat-set the ink with a heat gun in between. I repeated this process until I had a textured panel, which I then die-cut using the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies.

I also cut the sentiment from black cardstock and glued it behind the purple sentiment, slightly offset. I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment to the card base.

I printed the pumpkin and kitty from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and cut out the images with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. The porcupine, leaves, acorn, and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy, which I die-cut with the coordinating dies. I coloured all of the images with my Copic markers and adhered them to the card base with liquid glue.
