October Monthly Challenge and Paper Bloggers Unite Challenge

Well, this card will serve two purposes this month.

First it is a kit I got from SoniB over on the Monthly Challenge thread for October (Yikes  I have to get a kit together for November!).  She sent us all a ton of stuff to play with and this is only the first card I had the chance to make.  Since I'm partial to kitty furry babies, I chose this image to play with.
I don't usually send out Halloween cards, but I may have to make a change on that.  They are fun to create.

First I used SU Green Galore as my card base.  The Pumpkin Pie embossed edge was sent in the kit.  I just layered that on the base.  I colored my image with Copics (big surprise!).  I cut the corners using my SU ticket punch and then matted it on a piece of Pumpkin Pie.  Using some sparkly black brads I adhered that to the piece of "Blackbird" paper from In My Mind's Eye.  I love that set of papers.  Before layering that on the card, I used a piece of black ribbon and tied that over the embossed layer.  There was that empty little corner up in the left, so I found this cute sticker from Echo Park that fit just fine.

The Copics I used were  YR00, YR02, YR04, YR07, G03, G05, G07, W0, W2, W4, 0.

Second it also serves to complete the Paper Bloggers United color challenge from ScrappinCEO this month.


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate all comments.  Have a blessed day.
