MMSC75 - Hat with Cat


Good Morning!  It's time for another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC75).  For my card today, I used one of the images from the "priscillastyles"  Halloween Witch Hat with Cat Set (includes 5 images).  After coloring my image with Copics, I heat embossed the hat with clear embossing powder mixed with dazzling diamonds.  The hat's buckle was finished with tiny rhinstones.  IRL, the hat sparkles nicely.

I also used one of the witch hats (included with this set) to create my background paper.   Very fun and easy to do with digital images... Just resize and format your image to your liking as you normally would do.  To create the checkerboard, I copied and pasted the image into a Word document, then hit the tab key and repeated across the page, alternating rows..  Very easy and fun to do!

This card incorporates the following challenges:
Paper Romance Challenge -- Make a Halloween or Fall Card.
Stamp Insanity (SISC30) --  Make a Halloween card with a "trick it or treat it" theme.
Fab and Funky Challenge #43 -- Use a digi image.
Simon Says Challenge -- Halloween theme

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!
Supplies:  Digital stamps - "priscillastyles" Halloween Witch Hat with Cat Set; Paper - SU! basic black, pumpkin pie & elegant eggplant, GP white, generic white base, checkerboard witch hat paper/computer-generated; Ink -computer, Copics for coloring; Accessories - rhinestones in different sizes for my stash, Spellbinders deckle-edge Nestie die,ribbon from Michaels; Jolee's Halloween embellishment, MS bat punch,
