I’m too sexy for my broom!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week! It’s Day 2 of the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop and I’ve popped in this morning to share a fun Halloween card. This is the 8th year Janis has organized this amazing Hop and it’s going on until the 29th, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There’s fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has lined up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

I typically don’t make many Halloween cards but I have made a few this year and I just had to use Burt on his broom and the coordinating sentiment! I absolutely LOVE the Riley & Co. Funny Bones line and Burt is one of my favs! He’s such a hoot!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel and die cut cityscape (using the Memory Box Cityscape Nighttime die) from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I also cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered the cityscape at the bottom. I stamped Burt on his broom and colored him with alcohol markers, and adhered the panel to the black licorice layer and then to the card base. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it over the cityscape. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from an Eyelet Outlet purple Pearl Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot Washi Tape. I stamped a Halloween sentiment from The Project Bin Cool Ghoul stamp set that I had out on my desk from another project, and layered the panel on black licorice cardstock.

I'm definitely what one could consider a crafting junkie! I love making cards, 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, mini albums and gift bags), mixed media projects, altering items, as well as occasional beading and making jewelry! Fortunately, hubby is very supportive! Life is good! :D

  1. Oh my! What a sublime card! Love the posturing and expression on the little black kitty! (bit partial to them!) Gorgeous work as usual. And yes you are right, black cats are very hard to photograph! Happy hopping!
