* Cat Lovers Hop Day 1


Hello

Welcome to Day 1 of the Cat Lovers Hop 2021.

A big hello to all my furry, feline-loving friends!

This is an annual event hosted by the lovely Janis over on her blog at Her Peaceful Garden.
If you like cats pop over and have a look at the fun games and awesome prizes that Janis has organised for the next 6 days. 


 I used newly released AALL & Create stamps to make my Halloween card. I stamped the images, coloured and fussy cut them, then added them to the rainbow sky background.
The background is blended Distress Oxides, splattered with water to bleach out some colour. The moon was made using a set from Inkylicious which includes a moon stencil, mask and stamp. It was out long before Tim brought his out :) I then stamped the background with various AALL & Create background stamps to add texture and a border. I also used the Batosphere stamp to create the web and bats in the top corner.
The cat and hat were stamped onto the background so that the blots and squiggles would be there when I added the fussy cut images. I am distraught that I misplaced the hat in my eagerness to complete the project - oh well, let's say she has a levitating witches hat :)
I added some silver glitter pen to the web and around the edge of the moon.
