31 Days of Halloween # 23: Furry Friends

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!

Hi - Laurie here again with another project for our month long Halloween celebration.  And right now, as part of that celebration, we are featuring our favorite Halloween furry friends.

I made a tag for this project featuring one of the stamps from the Party Cat stamp set from Lost Coast Designs.  I stamped my cat onto a piece of coffee dyed paper using black ink.  Before I cut him out, I used a black marker to completely color in his party hat and added a brim on either side to make it look like a witch's hat.  Then I fussy cut him out.  

I restamped the part of his face where his eyes are onto a white paper scrap and cut that out, superimposing it over his originally stamped eyes.  I colored those eyes with a bright green marker then glued a little kitty Halloween mask over his eyes.  I hope you can see that color in his eyes on the attached photo.  

For my background, I used a Gelli print I had on hand using some orange acrylic paint and a stencil that looks a bit like a starburst.  I cut that into a tag shape and edged it with Distress Ink.  I glued my kitty witch as shown and added a gold star to his pointy hat.  

Next I used a banner die and black paper to cut a little party banner.  Using letter stickers, I spelled the word MAGIC on the banner and attached it to the upper part of my tag.  Some orange ribbon and a bunch of stars and sequins in gold and orange complete the tag.

So get out your rubber stamps and show us what Furry Friend Halloween projects you can create.  You might win some free stamps!
