Best Ghoulfriends

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT552) on Splitcoast today is all about cats. My Halloween card has a couple of metal confetti cats…every good witch needs a cat, right? Personally, I have never had a cat…I’ve had parrots for so long, bringing a cat in just didn’t seem like a good idea….I picture Sylvester & Tweety Bird. Eventually, the parrot is going to look a lot like lunch to the cat!

For my ghoul friends, I stamped the witch feet on the right & used the mirror image (or reflection) technique for the one on the left. After coloring both, I over stamped the one on the right w/ Versafine but used a very fine Micron pen to go over the one on the left. I accidentally dropped the dark purple Copic on the background so I just did a Pointillism technique in the area all around the witches. The hats were fussy cut and added on top of the bracket border strip along with the greeting.

For my card, I stamped the pumpkins on one panel with Memento and colored them with Copics using the Pointillism technique…basically, a lot of dots, lol. I also did the shadows under the pumpkins the same way. Since it was still in my Misti, I over stamped with Versafine so the details would really pop. I used a pierced rectangle die but I resized it to make it shorter. The sunflowers were done the same way, except I only used the Pointillism on the centers and they were fussy cut. The pumpkins & sunflowers are from the new Fall Pops set. The new Autumn die was cut out of black & a black Oak Leaf die were added.

On the inside, I used the left overs (the leaf & Autumn are embedded in the textured white layer).
And these are the Copics I used.
