Scaredy cat

Oh, how I love Fluffles!! I about died when I saw the new Halloween & Christmas images ~~ but I just couldn't afford to buy them all. Tammi to the rescue!!! She sent me all kinds of images recently, & this was one of them.

This card is a 5.5" square ~~ my favorite size lately. It's so much easier for me to balance everything with a square card. I recently invested in the Enveloper, so I'm finally able to make envelo-boxes to go with my cards. I use a lot of layers & embellishments, & the boxes are 1/4" thick so nothing gets mooshed.

Anyway ~~ I colored the image with my Prismas & gamsol, making a purplish "glow" around him. Because he's trick-or-treating. At night. Of course. I did a lot of distressing to the papers, which really stresses me out. I hate the feel of using that tool, & I hate the sound it makes. But I do it, usually because I can't cut straight so everything comes out crooked, lol. The bat paper behind the image is from the Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday pack, the striped paper.....ummm.....I've used almost my whole sheet so I don't know who made it. All that's left is the name of the paper, Cat Stripes, but that probably won't do you much good. I used my Martha bat punch for the 3 bats in the corner ~~ punched out of Bazzill Bling cardstock. They still needed a little something, though, so I outlined them with my Sakura glitter pen for a subtle shimmer. I added Stickles to the pumpkin, clear glaze to the candy, added some brads & some ribbon......& I love how it turned out!!


I also decorated the inside with some of the same paper, a spider web (also a Martha punch) & some faux stitching. Because I have yet to break down & purchase a machine. I'm very afraid of sewing machines. I guess *I'm* the scaredy cat!!!!
