Super Challenge! Be inspired by Kittie! I'm always inspired by Kittie...she's one of the sweetest & most talented people here! And I've really enjoyed getting to know her. For my card, I was inspired by THISwonderful Halloween card she made. And as homage to Kittie, I included a window.
I die cut the decorative window out of black & attached a sort of spooky looking sky behind the top that I made with Copics. I had a fun Jackolantern that I had apparently colored & fussy cut at some earlier date & I thought he looked good in the window except that he didn't show up very well against that orange sky. So I trimmed down the black window insets, stamped the spider web on them, then added them to white insets & placed them inside the window frame. The curtains were made w/ some wide webby ribbon I had & I used the star brads as tie backs.
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog: The Write Stuff

Totally spookalicious!! The curtains caught my eye right away..had to find out about those...very cool idea using the ribbon. I love the spider webs on the window and that sort of stained glass effect on top. Fabulous card and of course a window is perfect for honoring Kittie!
Dear Julie! I love this. The pops of bright colors pop against all the black. I simply adore the drapes you made with the loosely knit ribbon. The sky background in the top of the window is really beautiful and matches the colors of the jackolantern. Thanks so much for playing today. I really means so much to me.

Fabulous, Julie! The whole scene is terrific, but the curtains are my favorite detail. Great jack-o-lantern sitting in the window!
