Meowy Halloween

It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you This week my teammates and I are focusing on Halloween! Since I love both Halloween and cats, I decided to make a black witch cat using the gorgeous Noof Clear Clear Polymer Stamp and the Witches' Hat Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps.
Here's the card!

Using a stamping platform, I stamped the Witches' Hat with Copic-friendly black ink twice; once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. The sticker paper version was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart as a mask. Noof was positioned on the platform so that the witch hat would be covering his head, but not his ears. He was also stamped twice, once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper, which was fussy-cut and placed over Noof on the image panel.

The flattest of the masks from the Acetate Hills Mask-Stencil set was positioned horizontally across the image panel to ground Noof. Della Blue and Dark Denim Elements Inks were brushed over the masked images and the Hills mask. 

All masks were removed and Copic markers were used to color Noof, the the Witches' Hat, and the grass.

The image panel was trimmed and edged with  Dark Denim Elements Ink. A piece of white cardstock was cut to .25" larger than the image panel. Violet Chalk Elements Ink was brushed over the the edges of the cardstock, leaving the center white. I used this piece to mat the image panel.

Violet Chalk Elements Ink was brushed over a scrap of white cardstock to color it. "Meowy" was stamped with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink . The scrap was placed onto the stamping platform and "Happy Halloween" from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set was positioned underneath. The word "Happy" was covered with a scrap of paper, "Halloween" was inked with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink, the scrap was removed, and the sentiment was stamped. The sentiment scrap was heat set, then cut with a speech bubble cutting die.

The matted image panel was adhered to a black 5" x 7" card. The sentiment speech bubble was adhered to finish the card.
