It's mid-September, with Halloween bearing down on us! But, not to worry, you still have a couple of weeks to get your "Anything Halloween" project entered at Two Old Bats September Halloween Challenge.
I started this card with an unused black 5-1/2" square custom envelope, an unused die cut pumpkin cup from my stash (Trinity Stamps #TMD-088 "Boo Brew"), and the idea of cats and pumpkins as shown on our inspiration board. Add to that a challenge at Just Us Girls with the word prompt "Container", and voila, a cup O' spooky cats!
The first thing I did was to stamp my three Tim Holtz felines with black ink on a die cut stitched rectangular panel and colored a bit of green in their eyes. Then I created a 5"x5" folded white card base and stamped a spider web in black. I cut a printed paper square, glued it to a larger black mat, layered that over the white card base, and stamped the cobweb again. I attached the white cat panel and over-stamped the web a final time, masking the eyes of the middle cat. Finally, I glued the cup in place with dimensional foam and tied a sentiment tag to the cup handle with some baker's twine.
