Seems like a purrfect time to say... black cats on checked background 7x5in card Hi Craft addicts! Well it is Throwback Thursday and for today's post, I have made this black cat themed card using stamps from Hunkydory and Simon Hurley (Ranger) and dies from Tattered Lace and Spellbinders... How I made this card:- I saw a video on You Tube some time ago showing the technique to make the  check background and I decided to try it... so I first of all I took a piece of white stamping card and trimmed it so that it measured 5" x 4" (approx), turned it over and divided it into 4 equal parts using a ruler and pencil - it doesn't matter that you can see this as it on the back of it. I took the Classic Flannel rubber stamp (from Simon Hurley/Ranger) and inked part of it with Over The Moon dye ink again from Simon Hurley. I then placed one quarter of the card over it, placed a scratch piece of paper over it and burnished it. I repeated the process in the opposit...

Spooky! Black cat in silhouette Halloween card -  Day 304 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Happy Halloween! Today's card I have made another spooky one - this time using a Black Cat on a hand coloured background. How I made this card:- I first of all took an image of a cat in silhouette from the web on to my Brother Scan n Cut and used the image tracing function to bring it in to Canvas Work Space.  Once that was done, I resized it to one that I was happy with and cut it out of some black card (American Crafts I think as it has a slight texture to one side). I then masked off the centre part of an A6 white card (linen effect) with some purple masking tape, leaving roughly an inch on either side and coloured them with Orange and red Tim Holtz Distress inks. I also cut a circle using a plain die out of white card and coloured that in to match and glued it to the centre of the card (once I had taken away the tape of course!). I stamped the word "Spooky...

Boo! Witch and black cat on hand coloured background card  Day 289 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well I have been a bit frustrated with my computer crashing just as I was going to write this post but here it is .... How I made this card:- I first of all coloured a large piece of white stamping card with various reds, yellows and oranges distress inks and blended them in to create a sunrise/sunset background. Once I was happy with it, I left it to settle and cut out the Trellis background (from Tattered Lace) in black card.  I took out all of the diamonds but kept the top ones in sticking them back with a PVA glue and attached it to the sunrise background. I trimmed the background to fit the trellis and stuck it to the front of a 7" x 5" white card using it as a tent fold card. I then cut out the Witch and Black cat in black card and glued them to the card with PVA glue. I also cut out the BOO! sentiment twice, once in Orange and another in whit...
