Here we are almost at the end of October and just about at the end of the 31 Days of Halloween challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. What a blast it has been for all of us, creating so many Halloween themed projects! This one features the Katzelkraft Striped Cat stamp from Lost Coast Designs.
My base for this card is a piece of corrugated cardboard that I have distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. My next layer is a piece of homemade paper that I ran through an embossing folder with a Halloween theme - unfortunately my Striped Cat sits right in the middle, covering up the skeleton's head underneath! I tore around the edges then rubbed the surface with the same Vintage Photo ink to really bring out the raised effect of the embossing. I stitched around the border with my sewing machine as a finishing touch and glued it to my piece of cardboard.
My cat was stamped onto a piece of decorative scrapbook paper and fussy cut out. I re-stamped his head onto white card stock and cut out his eyes and glued them atop the original stamped image. I affixed him with some foam tape for some dimension and gave him a witch's hat and a google eyed spider to hold up in his paw. That's it! Pretty simple but lots of fun.
Please be sure to join us before the month is over for a chance to win some free stamps by submitting your stamped Halloween themed projects here on the Portal!
