Hey There! I'm filling in this week with the sketch challenge while Carole takes a little break. I based this one on one of the cards that I posted last week. It's an easy one...pretty straight forward. I hope that lots of you will play along this week...
My card uses the MUMMY SPRINKLE (D-6330) and TRICK OR TREAT (C-5265) stamps from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. I stamped Mummy Sprinkle on Kraft cardstock and then painted her with Tsukineko Frost White All-Purpose Ink and a small paint brush. The ink is more opaque and shimmery too. I also used one of my new Spellbinders Impressabilities embossing templates - this one's called Circles. I embossed a piece of Coredinations cardstock so that I could then sand it lightly and have the inner core color show through. These are definitely interesting but I'll need to play with them a bit more. My patterned paper here is Haunted from Cosmo Cricket and the ribbon and scalloped velvet trim is also from Cosmo. I added a few little buttons at the bottom to finish it off.
Ready to stamp along?! Grab your CAT'S PAJAMAS stamps and create a card using the sketch. It doesn't have to be Halloween...any theme will do. Post a link to your card here at the bottom of this post by midnight on Saturday, September 12th. Use keyword TCPTUES75 if you're uploading to Splitcoast or PCP. As usual, all entries will be featured in next week's Holey Moley Monday slide show on Alma's blog and you'll be entered into this month's Swanky Stamper contest!
I love the sketch and OH MY GOSH, your mummy kitty is so stinkin' cute!!! Excellent work!

I ordered some core'dinations paper, but I haven't played with it yet. Embossing it is a neat idea!

I made this card last week but don't know why it didn't make it thru to you. Maybe it's there and I missed it. I'll look again.
