Costume Party Count and Cat

Here are two more cards featuring images from the DoodleFactory Costume Party set from Starving Artistamps. I used a pair of blogger sketch challenges for these.

This one uses Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 36. I had a hard time with the pair of slanted panels! I ended up coloring the Count image with Copic markers, cutting it out, and placing it on a shimmery dark blue background using dimensionals. The moon is made from a scrap of embossed cardstock, made into a crescent shape with a circle punch.

I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the words in the sentiment on the light blue panel. I arranged the slanted panels on a light blue mat embossed with a spooky spider web pattern. I found a star shape in a collection of epoxy shapes, added a ribbon to the center and backed it with a circle before adding it to the cardfront.

Materials Used:

DoodleFactory Costume Party and Witch's Brew sentiment sets (Starving Artistamps); white cardstock (Gina K Designs); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Night of Navy Classic ink, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, and Barely Banana cardstock, 1 1/4" and 1" circle punches, blue grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals (Stampin' Up!); shimmery blue cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Spider Web and Swiss Dot embossing folders (Cuttlebug); epoxy shape (Making Memories-Animal Crackers line)

This card is based on this week's sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges. I ended up reversing the placement of the long vertical panel (left side of the card instead of the right) but I think it still follows the sketch for the most part . . .

I used the solid black cat from the Costume Party set and added a few details with Copic markers. The cat is cut out and set on the scene with dimensionals. The fence from the DoodleFactory Into the Woods set is stamped along the bottom of the scene. I masked it, then used different ink pads and a sponge to create my sunset sky.

Materials Used:
