Wow! Does Stef know how to pick 'em or what? There is so much to see on today's Inspiration site, I had a really hard time. I finally settled on Cloaked Vista Dress because I'm still doing some Halloween cards and the colors looked good for that. I also like the cutwork on the dress and tried to incorporate it by making a window card.
I stamped the cat and greeting on the gray c/s and cut the cat out. I added a little color to an extra stamped cat face, cut it out and added it on top of the base. Colored the hat w/ markers and added stickles.
The black front was embossed w/ a CB ironworks folder and attaches to a summer sun layer. I attached both of these to the card front and used a Spellbinders circle die to cut out the window. Then I attached the cat onto a stiffer cat I cut out of cardboard and then attached him in front of the window opening.
I added a little gray & white Prismacolor pencil to the black fence, then attached it. I made two faux brads and attached them to the sentiment panel. A few bats were punched and added and a little more stickles.
I put the summer sun circle I punched out thru the window and attached it to the inside of the card so it would show thru the window.
Thanks so much for looking!
