You're Purrr-fect!

Greetings from the happiest place right now, lol. The World Series is tied, 2-2. Our Houston Astros are bringing it back to Houston for the remaining games, first team to win 2 more games wins the Series. Yikes! Very exciting!

The card I'm sharing today carries the excitement over and features a Bugaboo Stamps digital happy cat and pumpkin image colored with my ProMarkers and made completely out of paper snippets and scraps from the Halloween paper pile.

  

I used the current Bugaboo Stella Says Sketch, rotating it sideways and sizing to A-2. I changed the orientation of the enamel dots to accommodate my focal image being a tad larger than the sketch suggests.

SUPPLIES:
Papers: SU black card stock card base and matting, Neenah index stock, misc. paper scraps
Stamps: Bugaboo Goofy Cat Halloween Pumpkin, Pink By Design, Leave Memories
Inks: ProMarkers, Sakura glitter gel pen, white Uniball Signo pen, VersaMark, Memento, VersaFine Clair
Dies: Lawn Fawn Everyday Extra Sentiment Banners
Stash/Other: Orange and black glitter embossing powders, enamel dots

That cat's expression makes me chuckle. Bugaboo named him Goofy Cat and Honey immediately said "Ren and Stimpy!" when he saw him. While looking through my Halloween sentiment stamps, I spied the "You're Purr-fect" and to me, THAT is what his expression is saying, lol. Like, Ruh-Roh, what do you mean I'm perfect...for what?"

The card making process was pretty straightforward. I just combined patterned paper scraps until I found a pleasing mash-up. The card base and mattings are the only solid card stock used.  I usually only combine patterns that are part of a collection and these scraps are far from that! The bottom squares paper already came glittered. The sentiment was heat-embossed with a Creamsicle orange powder on a scrap of die cut black card stock.

On the inside of the card, I explained why "You're Purr-fect" -- they dig the recipient and want to party with them. (The tease, of course, is they are perfect to suck their blood or something vampirish or ghoulish.)

The back of the card uses more patterned paper scraps and a Technique Tuesday siggie stamp, embossed with black glitter powder. I had a card stock mat and some striped paper with that same ghoulish glowing green so of course had to use it.

You may have noticed that I use that yummy ghoulish green a LOT for the sky/air on Halloween cards. I get that almost-glowing color by combining different ProMarker greens (Soft Lime, Apple, Meadow Green + a splash of Lime Greeen) with a yellow. And bonus, there's a similar shade in the striped paper. :-)
