Happy Thursday, peeps! I am continuing on my vintage Halloween theme, this time using a digital image of an old Halloween postcard. I used the Seize the Sketch from this week:
as well as the challenge 186 from the Shabby Tea Room, which requires a pumpkin, burlap and twine! So here we go:
I am in love with this fetching little black cat….and the quartet of jack-o-lanterns as well! I turned the sketch a quarter turn to make it fit my image. I stamped the background of my Early Espresso card with a cheesecloth stamp in white craft ink, and added a little burlap banner accented with a piece of pumpkin pie cardstock that I distressed, then separated so that it has a suede look to it. I added a little distressing, a cool brad, some twine and a few Tim Holtz stickers:
Isn’t he a handsome guy….and check out the message on the postcard:
And sticking with the cat theme, here’s the inside:
Speaking of cats, Cassidy told me today she was calling “heaven” on her toy cell phone:
I said “Heaven? Who are you going to talk to in heaven?” She said “Pumpkin!” You may remember that Pumpkin was my 18-year old kitty that we lost about a year ago! I almost cried! The things this child thinks of!
