I used the fun Kitty & Jack image along with the new Boo die for my Halloween card. This image is a lot of fun to color! I also stamped, colored and fussy cut just the kitty & jack part to pop up on top of the base image. The base image was die cut w/ a large circle and I trimmed of the bottom just below the rock wall & added a larger die cut circle behind it. Boo was die cut out of a dot embossed textured black & stacked on top of 2 more die cut Boo’s for a little depth. The large distressed orange dp was stamped with the new Wood Background image using the rusty hinge ink. I punched one black bat fence and another out of a black Halloween text print..the solid black fence has some yellow highlights added to the top.
The yellow leafy dp on the left was a leftover strip from something else and I used a curved border die on the right edge & added some black faux stitch lines. On the inside, I added some leftover dp and punched bat fence to frame the fun Fraidycat greeting.
The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
The card below is one I did using some of the new Leaf Pops Negatives & It’s About Time images & a clock die also available at Serendipity Stamps. Just click the picture and it will take you to all the details on this card.Â

Dang – your coloring and style are to die for. That little Boo die is really calling my name too.
So many details in this card. Love the big moon in the back, the fencing on the side and in front of the circle.

Love the coloring and colors on your first card Julie, and beautiful stamping on the clock card! Nice work!
Very spooky–I like your coloring and use of the fence die. Great clock card too.

Wow! Love your Kitty and Jack, wonderful details. Great highlights on the fence. Beautiful way to use the Leaf Pops!
It is amazing to see the same stamp being used in so many different ways. You are all very talented. I like the addition of the fence in front of the scene.
Hi Julie, this is my first time on your blog and I am blown away by your coloring…WOW!!! I am now a follower by email…can’t wait to see more of your designs.
Love your color choices and technique!!! Great use of the fence too!
Wonderful cards. I really love the Kitty and Jack card with the fence.
Wow these are incredible! Love the coloring and the way you did the inside too!
I love the fence in front of the kitty and pumpkin stamp! That green goo spilling down is perfect!! Both cards are great, but my favorite is the kitty and pumpkin one!
Look at the beautiful glow/light coming off the pumpkin! It looks amazing, and I’m loving how you used that fence die. So striking! Gorgeous colors on that second card! WOW..the eye candy you create each day.
Both are great Halloween cards…nicely colored…but I especially like the clock card!
Great cards here too…love how you did the Fraidy Cat fence!
