Happy Friday peeps! There are only 20 more days 'til Halloween so I thought I'd better get busy making some of those cards even though I don't like Halloween...at least scary, ghoulish ones. I know the kiddos still like to dress up and get their treats. Halloween fits perfectly for the challenge at Just Add Ink #478...
I created this card for my li'l pen pal in Maine and I hope she likes it.
My card base is Pumpkin Pie. The mat is Graphic 45 2014 Time to Flourish patterned paper, inherited from Carole.
I had a 3" x 3" scrap of Whisper White so I used the Cat Punch to make another peek-a-boo card. I lined it up so the Cat would be saying "boo"!
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Pumpkin Pie and cut with the Classic Label Punch.
The white ribbon is 1/4" wide and it's from a huge spool I bought years ago when I was crocheting patriotic belts. So, I also have a spool of navy and a spool of red. I'll never use it up in my lifetime! The belt project was too tedious so I ended up with one belt...but I digress!
Here's the inside...
I colored the words "you're" and "sweet" with my Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker because "you're" was connected to a longer sentiment and I didn't want to mask or cut the stamp. They are from the retired Sweet Cupcakes set.
The "happy halloween" is from the retired Spooky Cat set.
Using the Nine Lives Stamp Set, I stamped the fur on the cat that I had punched out. The scariest part of this card is the cat's face, which is from Peachy Keen. The company sent me four free stamps as a gift for purchasing the Fashionista Face stamp set.
Are you wondering why my card is all orange and white? Well, here's the answer...Double D Challenges: Orange and White! Don't you just love their Mood Board?
I know LeAnne must! I'm not a fan of orange unless it's got green with it for the Packers! However, I do love circus peanuts and they are orange...I might buy some for Halloween!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you tomorrow.
