Luna the Halloween Cat Card - Hero Arts LunatheHalloweenCat - Tim Holtz Halloween embfold stencil

 First time using the Hero Arts Luna the Halloween Cat stamp/die to make this Halloween card.

Used a Tim Holtz Halloween stencil with texture paste that I had for over 2 yrs (have been a CTMH Consultant/Maker for 2 yrs now and forgot I rcvd the texture paste along with palette knives and other goodies for reaching level of sales in first few mths). The texture paste was fresh as ever. After using on the entire Halloween stencil I allowed to dry and then cut each word into strips for use on many more projects.

Used some of the black Sparkle embossing powder for cauldron bubbles.

I'm going to give this card to my daughter who adopted a black cat in Aug that she named Bartleby or "Bee" for short who has adjusted to her apt. She bought an auto feeder and the cat goes to it when it dispenses the food and eats.

I'm fond of Pumpkin Spice. Had a Pumpkin Spice Frappe at Starbucks this morning. I take my personal Starbucks cup and Starbucks discounts 10 cents for using a personal reusable cup. Did you know that?

Made this card and handmade a stencil to use as a shadow for card. Made an oops during blending of shadow but covered it up with the plaid pattern paper cut using a square die. Made the matching envelope & stamped front left corner.
