Halloween Cat Costume Card


My husband was organizing our photo files and came across this adorable photo of our son at about  a year old.   Since I had just received the hilarious Art Impression stamp set, I knew that I had to make one more Halloween card and send it to the 'kitty' in the photo.
 I know that it would have been easier to use the  Sizzix banner die to cut the photo into the shape but I wanted to send the whole photo (I'm in it too) so I decided to use the die to cut an opening through all three layers of card stock. I cut the layers separately and then used Merikan double stick tape (from BFC) to adhere them together.  The mother cat in the costume was colored with Copic pens and the speech bubble was cut with a Paper Smooches die.  I covered the hand cut orange banner with Little B Halloween washi tape (from BFC) and added Doodlebug Halloween dot stickers (also from BFC).  Oh yes, the printed papers used were also Doodlebug products available at HM Ben Franklin Crafts.  Okay, this really is the last Halloween project for this year! Be scary but be safe!
