31 Days of Halloween Day 21 - Under a Halloween Moon

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings Portal Peeps.  Gail here today.
Are you keeping up with the spooktacular fun here at the Portal?
So many ways to win Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda stamps this month!!
Check the treat posts for all the details.  And don't forget to link up your stamped Pet themed makes, spooktacular or not, and your stamped Halloween inspired makes to our challenges,
both of which run to the end of the month.  

Today sees the start of the 2019 Cat Lovers Blog hop, and Lost Coast Designs is one of the fabulous sponsors.  Another way to win Lost Coast Designs stamps this month!!
Of course, my Halloween Pet themed make had to feature a cat!!  And Pink!!


I've used Lost Coast Designs Floppy Eared Cat and Fruit Pods Background.  Lost Coast Designs have some amazing background stamps and this one is my new favourite!

 I started with some white card.  I stamped  Floppy Eared Cat with black archival and fussy cut.  The Fruit Pods Background was stamped twice, once with Cactus Flower and once with Dandelion archival.  I embossed the Dandelion panel with Emerald Creek gold sparkle embossing powder and cut with a circle die.  
I smeared the 'moon' with Mustard Seed distress and edge with black ink.  I added a piece of textured card that I had cut with a stitch die and smeared with Orange Blossom archival ink.  I stamped the cat over the scene.  It's not a good impression, I am just after the details I didn't fussy cut, like whiskers and such. 
Add the fussy cut cat.  Nice whiskers!!  Add a few die cut bats, cut the panel with a stitch die and mount on a black base card.  Looks like something is creeping up behind you cat!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Do check out all the amazing projects the team is sharing and leave a little love.  One randomly selected comment from the 31 Days of Halloween posts will win a little stamp package.  And don't forget to link up your makes to the 4 challenges that are offering a gift voucher to Lost Coast Designs this month.

Thanks for sponsoring Janis' Cat Lovers Hop! Gail, I love your card.
The fruit pods BG is really unique and love how you used it.

Fabulous card, Gail. I need to remember that trick of double stamping the image so I don't have to fussy cut the tricky parts!! Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much to Lost Coast Designs for sponsoring the #2019CatLoversHop!!!
