I made this Halloween card for two of my friends when I realized my bewitching kitty works for the letter K alphabet challenge (for kitty). I simply could not come up with a Halloween card this year for anything. So finally I stamped out this kitty image and the cauldron and colored them in with copic markers. I added clear stickles to the kitty's robe and to the gold brew in the cauldron and I set these pieces aside to dry. There is a lot of masking done on the image piece. A circle is cut for the moon, then I used the negative circle space to sponge in the yellow for the moon. I also made a mask of the kitty so as not to get yellow on him. Then I removed these masks and put the circle and kitty masks in place and masked the blue around everything. Cut the window die out and lightly sponged black ink around the edges to grunge it up a bit. Fussy cut out the cauldron and stamped and fussy cut the sentiment banner. The scene still needed something so I added these bats into the scene, then I took a jellyroll stardust pen and added in a few stars for some fun and whimsy. I did not want this Halloween card to be too spooky or scary . Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

Karen, your card is just the cutest!! Super clever idea to put the broom riding kitty outside the window, while the frog hangs around the cauldron of spooky contents! Terrific Halloween card!

Kute Halloween Kitten for Letter K. Love the window view of the spooky happenings outside. It's a little spooky inside, too. The spider web paper is terrific. The witches brew is a keen addition. TFS
