Inky Paws Challenge #208 ~ Halloween Theme Challenge Reminder

 Hello there crafty friend!
 There's still time to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge #208 - Halloween Theme Challenge!! You have until this coming Friday, October 13th to get your entries in for this fun challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!


Loving all the pumpkins in the badge for this challenge... I just had to feature some fun jack-o-lanterns for my card this week!


I pulled out a couple of fun pattern papers from the Halloween Meows 6x6 Paper Pad. I cut the background paper to cover the front of my card base. It measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I cut the orange jack-o-lantern paper to 2-1/4 x 3". The black mat is just a tad bigger at 2-3/8 x 3-1/8". The two green papers are scraps I had leftover. They're approximately 1/2" x 3". I cut fishtails on the ends and adhered them together.


The adorable kitty and pumpkin from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it up with my Copic markers {listed below}. I then fussy cut the kitty on the black line and colored the edge with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. This helps the image look nice around the edges. I adhered the kitty to a piece of vellum that I had die cut this a stitched oval from the Oval Frames Die Set

Copic Markers I used to color up the kitty and pumpkin:
Kitty: C00, C1, C3, R00, R20
Hat: YG21, YG11, YG13, C00, C1, C3, C5
Pumpkin: YR21, YR15, YR68, YR27, E51, E55, E57


To add a little fun touch to the card, I die cut two bats using one of the bat dies from the Witchy Newton Die Set. I chose a cute sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set and colored 'trick' with YG21, YG11 and YG13. I trimmed it up and mat it on a piece of black card stock and then I adhered it to the card. I did add a couple scraps under the left side of the sentiment so it would lay flat on the card. 


Inspiration for my card came from the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 15. This has been such a fun sketch. It works great with a small image and a great mix of papers for a background.
