The Flying Cat




10/31/2019 Update: My card was the winner of Creative Knockouts Challenge #320. Many thanks to the Design Team!


Today's card was inspired by a challenge photo at Color My Heart Color Dare #365. This is a departure from the usual challenge where we work from a color grid but it's perfect for the upcoming Halloween celebration. This biweekly challenge begins today, Friday, October 18, and runs through Wednesday, October 30, 2019.





The elements for the wreath and flying witch-cat were die cut from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. A panel of striped paper was applied to the Kraft card base. The colored, die-cut elements were adhered to a square of corrugated cardboard in a light tan color then added to the card. The sentiment was computer generated and adhered. The inside was lined with white cardstock and decorated with a few of the colored bits. A white-inked gel pen was used to add dots to the sunflower centers. Wink of Stella was also applied to the pumpkins, leaves and flowers.





The Design Team looks forward to your take on their inspirational photo. For details about Challenge #365, visit the Color Dare Challenge Blog and play along.

  5. Love the wreath and all the pretty colors...great corrugated background...hey, how come you didn't use the Hawthorn paper that looked like corrugated, not that this real corrugated doesn't look great too. Beautiful card.

    1. Thanks Sue! (I chose to use real corrugated cardboard to give the card more depth and texture. I think my recipient will appreciate those elements.)
