Hi peeps! Our theme this week at Visible Image is Halloween, of course! One of the obvious Halloween images that springs to mind, apart from witches and ghouls, is black cats, and the dies in the That Loving' Feeline set were ideal for making my card.
Perfect as they are for die cutting the stamped images, they are just as good for cutting silhouette images - you only need to add green gems for the eyes. So you're getting extra mileage out of your dies - win, win! They'd also be great for young children's Halloween crafts.
Now for my background. I sprayed a panel with Distress Mica Stains using Jack o'Lantern, Flickering Candle and Hocus Pocus, then added a strip of washi tape which would help to ground my cats.
I don't have glow-in-the-dark supplies so instead I spread Cosmic Shimmer clear texture paste through the Stardust stencil, then after removing the stencil and while the paste was still wet I sprinkled Tailored Expressions Pea Pod loose glitter onto the texture paste.
As always with loose glitter, the finer particles clung to the panel, even though I'd used an anti-static pad. But once the piece was thoroughly dry, it was easy to brush off the particles and return them to the pot.
The bright green sparkle is incredible, but soooo difficult for the camera to truly pick up.
To finish my card, I stamped the 'Meow!' sentiment from the That Lovin' Feeline stamp set onto a scrap of card, added some mini staples then adhered it to the card. When you've already got dimension on your base layer, sometimes it's easier than stapling through the layer.

Happy crafting!
