Take a look at this amazing sketch that Priscilla has provided for all of us. This was a fun one to work up and I know you are going to enjoy it.

Here is my card created with this sketch. I used Chelsea's Cat Girl image. Now tell me, how cute is this girl dressed in her cat costume for Halloween. She is so darling in this sweet dress holding her pumpkin to pick up her treats as she goes door to door. Just look at her legs......I tweaked this stamp and added the stripes for these cool stockings. And, Ijust couldn't resist putting all these purrfectly wonderful cats with her.

As you can see in this picture below, I stamped the image on the envelope to match this sweet card and colored it to match.
Here is how I did the inside of the card. I actually made this little girl fish net stockings in this picture. If you double click to enlarge the photo, you can see it better! I love that you have the versatility to do this with Chelsea's stamps. The other thing I loved was putting some orange glittering eyeshadow above her eyes. I was reminiscing about last year at this time when I went to the "Southern Women's Show" with my girlfriends. They had a booth where they were putting glitter eyeliner on all the woman who wanted it with a sugar solution. We all had it done and bought some. I still put mine on for parties!!!! lolThis is a view of all the luscious layers that I used in creating this card. I also hand embroidered the edge of the frame with ribbon.
Thanks for stopping in today and viewing my Midnight Madness Card. I want to invite you again to place the Midnight Madness Logo for the Blog Hop in your side bar this week, and you will have two chances for the weekly prize drawing. WOW

Mark you calendars for October 16 to October 20 for the 1st Prowling at the Midnight Madness Blog Hop....See you there!!!!!

What a adorable card. I just love all of the details from the bright halloween colors to the lacing around your frame. The cats and other embellishments help make this a wonderful Halloween Card.

Wow, look at all those layers on the card, you have been very busy I see. Great coloring and lacing on your card, love the black cats too. All done up on the inside too. Great!!

Sue McMahon said...

Ok...love how you tweaked the stockings. My Mom made me an outfit as a 'cat' one year for a Halloween party when I was probably 13/14. My Mom dropped me off at my BFF's as the party was at one of her friends house (we went to different schools). I used their bathroom before we left. Where do you think my super cute black tail went?!?!?! YUP! Wet tail slapping me in the legs all night long. UGH! One hundred years later...still remember it! LOL! Thanks for the memories! Beautiful job on the image and sketch! :)

Sue McMahon said...
