I'm getting in a few more Halloween cards before it is here and gone. Can you believe how quickly this month has flown by?
So I liked my witch's glittery moon so much, I decided to try it again with my black cat. Really, can you ever have too much glitter? Notice the scallop along the edge? I used my rectangle Nestabilities to do that. I used the largest one and measured my card from there, to make sure it would fit properly. And I used more of this great My Mind's Eye Halloween paper. I cannot get enough of polka dots and stripes...ever! And, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best thing about making Halloween cards is that you can do just about anything and it still looks good! I mean, normally this might look like a big ol' mess with a regular card, but this kind of pattern on top of pattern seems to work for this! And the glitter? Well, it sorta didn't stick to all of the cardstock for some reason, but again...
And here's a second, simpler card using the same stamps and paper:

So, are you superstitious? Do you avoid a black cat and the number 13? What about walking under ladders? Now that one just seems like a safety issue to me, nothing superstitious about that!

GASP!! I love this card.. I'm not a halloweeney kind of girl.. BUT I LOVE LOVE GLITTER.. Ü
The glitter looks great. I really like the black and white ribbon paired with the eyelash. Very pretty combination.
So very CUTE Jennifer!
I'm really enjoying your blog and share a similar philosophy as to polka dots and glitter. I do have a question about your glitter, though -- what do you use to adhere glitter? what do you use when you want glitter around edges? what about the whole image like your black cat cards? I have been experimenting, but I haven't found something I love!
