Not a Typical Halloween Card - PPA223 & PP216

So, what do you do when you want to make a Halloween card but don't really own any Halloween stamps? You improvise! Today's card is for the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts and the theme challenge at the paper players. The only Halloween set I have is from the most recent Paper Pumpkin, so I used that for the sentiment. Then I pulled out the You Little Furball set to stamp some black cats and the Gorgeous Grunge set for some background details.

 

** Before anyone complains about the whole black cat thing, I have my own black kitty, and don't buy into the whole black cats are bad luck thing :)

 

 

 

Here's my black cat Jim :)

Orange Kitty - NAC108 & FMS155

It's rare for me to emboss directly on the card base when I'm making a card, but for some reason I decided to in this sketch to keep it simple. I combined the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches with the color challenge from Nacho Average Challenge. I decided to use the orange to stamp an orange kitty, so the rest of the card fell into place around that.

You Little Furball - PPA209

I got another order of new Stampin' Up! stuff yesterday, and the first thing I pulled out was this adorable cat set. I've been hoping for a new cat (and dog) set since C is for Cat was retired, and there's one in the new catty! :)

 

This card is for the sketch challenge at Pals Paper Arts this week. I love this new background stamp as well, it's got a great design to it. The In Color sequins finished this off perfectly. It's a bit hard to tell in the picture, but they are Baked Brown Sugar to match the kitty and sponging. 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

 

Stamps: Handcarved, You Little Furball

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon

Paper: Whisper White and Blackberry Bliss card stock

Misc: 1 3/4" circle punch, Circle framelits, dimensionals, In Color Sequin Assortment, Tombo Liquid Glue, sponge dauber
