Shelly and Tami have BLOG CANDY today, so be sure to stop by their blogs and leave them a comment for a chance to win!
My card today is another Halloween card. This time featuring Midnite & Jack. Now I didn’t know this kitty’s name was Midnite, until after I’d colored him, so let’s just say he’s getting on in years and that’s why his black coat has faded to gray.
I’ve used this week’s featured sale item – Nestabilities – to cut, emboss and shade my image rectangle, and also to cut and emboss the scallop layer. I don’t know what I did before I had my Nestabilities! I LOVE them! It’s so convenient to get a precise cut and perfect mat for your images – every time!
These Halloween pals are colored with Copic markers and the image layer was sponged with a sponge dauber and Ranger Distress scattered straw ink before I removed the Nestabilities die from the paper.

Here is this week’s sketch~
And here is my card for this week:
This beautiful cardinal is from the Inkadinkado Winter Birds set. I stamped it in Adirondack inks, then painted over the berries with Shimmerz Rustic Red, the leaves with Key Lime Shimmerz, and the bird with Shimmerz Golden Wheat. The edge of the oval and the flower were painted with Shimmerz Butter Cream. See all the sparkle?
