Celebrate Black Cats

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the Crazy 4 challenges team.

Today is Black Cat Day! Make a card with a cat on it or make a Halloween Card!

I don't celebrate Halloween but I still wanted to play along. So I have used black cats on my card and just used the words celebrate, which I guess can be used for any occasion. I started by heat embossing the black cats and sentiment ( stamps from a cheap clear stamp set, that I have had for ages) I then used masks and distress oxide inks wild honey, ripe persimmon, broken china and seedless preserves to create the background. I spritz on water to activate the ink, then buffed the cats to remove any excess ink.

I carried on the same background colour scheme for the inside. I have used Karen Burniston's Iron fence pop-up die. Now this is the first time I have used this die although now it is discontinued,  but maybe some day it will be released as Karen has released some of her older die sets. I must say I did have to watch the utube video on how to construct the fence, but I found it fairly easy.

The right side of the fence pops up when you open and close the card. It is pretty cool.
