This is my inspiration, that features Witch way is the candy cat.
I must admit I saw a similar inspiration on Pinterest and I could not resist to make my own version.
As I planned to create a one layer card and color both with Copics and Distress Oxides, I stamped the cat on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I really think this cardstock gives you the best result with both techniques. Another trick I could suggest you is to start with larger pieces, especially when it comes to ink blend: this card originally was 5,5"x7".
I then drew the pumpkin with cat-eyes and I used a light board to copy the final result onto some Judikins Masking Paper. I hand cut the mask and positioned it on my image. When I have scenes like this one, I usually start with the background, so if I create a mess, I can restart without "loosing" time on copic coloring. I used Regular Distress Inks, they are my favorite if I want to reach dark colors. I applied Spiced Marmelade (the glow effect) from in to out and Wilted Violet and Black Soot from out to in. When I was happy with the blending, I splattered some Gansai Tambi Starry Watercolrs on my background.
I then removed the mask and started coloring the pumpkin and the cat, using Copic markers. I also added White Gel Pen details, to enhance the glowing effect.
When everything was finished, I die cut the panel using the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Set1 dies and I also white embossed the sentiment, which comes from Itty Bitty Boos.
To complete the card, I matted it using a 4,25"x5,5" Smooth White cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like the final result!
