Zentangled Halloween Card

My card was inspired by two challenges: The Paper Players Challenge #268 provided the sketch and Inkspirational Challenge #94 provided the theme.





A panel of cardstock was embossed for texture and adhered to the card base. Three strips of DSP were adhered to the textured cardstock panel. The pumpkin was stamped with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored with Stampin' Write markers then fussy cut. The cat was die cut and glitter paper was adhered to create the yellow eyes. The cat's nose is a black gem. The pumpkin was adhered to the cat and then they were adhered using foam Dimensionals for height.

The sentiment was computer generated, adhered to black cardstock and popped up with foam Dimensionals. Three black gems were added to the sentiment. The inside of the card was lined with vanilla cardstock and a strip of the green DSP.
