* Cat Lovers Hop: Trick or Treat

Hello

Welcome to the Cat Lovers Hop 2022.

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

The Cat Lovers Hop, for those that don't know, is a fantastic annual event, hosted by the lovely Janis over on her blog, Her Peaceful Garden.

This is its eighth year and an awful lot of work goes into its planning and preparation. The community of cat loving crafters is one of the best I have come across and I look forward to this event all year long.

If you like cats pop over and have a look at the fun games and awesome prizes that Janis has organised for the next few days.

You'll find the link up and all the beautiful projects here.

If you enter, make sure you sign up here to be eligible for prizes.

Today I have a Halloween scaredy cat to share:

I love these Snarky Halloween Cats from Tim Holtz at Stampers Anonymous.

I made the background by smooshing white card into Distress Oxide puddles (Crackling Campfire and Ripe Persimmon). Then I added some black Brusho pigments and spritzed with water. I stamped the images onto the background and also onto white card. I fussy cut the pumpkin and cat and coloured with Copics. The cobwebs were stamped straight onto the card and when dry were outlined with a silver glitter pen. The shadow at the base of the card was made with Inktense watercolour pencils. I added a good smattering of white acrylic ink splatters. The sentiment was stamped and cut into strips then added with a doodled border.

Just to let all the kitty crafters know:

I, with the help of 8 fabulous DT members, run a challenge blog called Crafts Galore Encore. We would love it if you would shared your projects there to be in with a chance of winning the 2 digi stamp prize from our October sponsor, All Dressed Up - she has some really cute kitty digi stamps.
