Witching you...

 

Good morning!    

The new Autumn Greetings collection at Purple Onion Designs has a great mix of both Fall and Halloween images to choose from. I went a bit spooky with today's card, stamping up the adorable Cast a Spell image. This cat and mouse duo are are dressed up as witches while they hang out together in the pumpkin patch on All Hallow's Eve. I'm not sure, but this may be my first time coloring a tortie cat and I just gotta say, the black and orange patterning makes them the perfect Halloween alternative to the traditional black cat. The full moon shining down upon them was added after I masked them off, using a Tim Holtz moon mask and the Copic airbrush system. I also really wanted to use the Halloween postmark from the Vintage Holidays Postmark set so I turned the whole scene into an oversized postage stamp and cancelled the postage with the large Postage Cancellation Mark. The sentiment is included in the Cast a Spell set, so I didn't have to look far for the perfect message.  :)

Have a great week!
