Cat woman of Gozo !! :-)

The theme this week on the Anyone for Anya Challenge is 'You're Anya' Well I only have 3 Anya's which I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts ( am hoping to win Megan this week :-)) but I knew which one was me :-) I am known as tha cat woman of Gozo,,, all the poor strays in the neighbourhood know where I live and drop by for dinner :-) especially when there's a fish BBQ on offer ha ha :-)
For this card I followed Tina's lovely sketch on the Everybody-Art-Challenge I am also entering this into the My Time To Craft Challenge whose theme is 'Purrfect Pets ' !! Purrfect !! :-)



I coloured the image wih copics and 3D'd her and the cute kitten, I sprayed the background with my air gun ,,, fab fun :-) The white kitten looks like my cat Bob who is completely deaf,, I resued him from the SPCA, the black cat is a button with the post at the back clipped off ,,, he looks like Jack,,, ( I have 7 cats ! ,,, and a dog ,,,, ) I chose blue as the main colour,,, cos that is my fave colour but to be honest I would't be seen dead wearing those clothes :-),,,, well ,,, I am so glad you can't see what I'm wearing right now ,,,,!! not a pretty sight lol :-)

I used a cute cat charm and ribbon from my stash the Prima flower snd brad by Kaiser Craft were in a DT pack from Heidi at Simon Says Stamp, incidentally they will soon be stocking Greetings Farm stamps too :-)

i have a blog candy pinned to the top of my blog which is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp if you would like to take a look :-)

Simon Says Get Spooky :-)

Long post,,,, get coffee :-)

It seems many of you are getting way ahead with your christmas cards !! I saw lots of fabulous ones last week ,, :-)
This week we have a scary challenge for you !! Yes it's almost Halloween and I dare say there will be lots of challenges around for you to link your cards/creations to :-)



As always Heidi, the owner of Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a fabby shopping spree to one lucky winner ;-)


Unfortunately here in Malta/Gozo Halloween hasn't really taken off so there is no need for me to make anything but I have some freinds here from Texas so my cards are being posted to their grandchildren :-) Hope this one doesn't scare em to death !! Not exactly cute is it !!! :-)



For this challenge heidi very kindly sent the DT a gift :-) In my package was this fabulous Tim Holtz Scary cat and a spiced marmalade distress ink pad :-) Lovely :-) But I have NO halloween themed stash at all ,,, so this one had me scratching my head !! I started by making my own papers with various distress inks. the dark sky with moon was made by spraying paper with slate glimmer mist then dabbed with a cloth. I stamped a flock of birds on the sky and a scary tree on the bottom left side piece ,, both of these are Tim Holtz stamps :-)
I followed Ria's fabulous sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge I thought it was a perfect halloween sketch :-)



The background for the cat was also made using glimmer mist and the cat was stamped with black soot distress ink,, it does look very shimmerry in real life :-)
The skull and star are grungeboard that were grunged with crackle paint and then sponged with black soot to grunge them even more ,,,, oh I did have fun making this :-) One tip tho !! NEVER shake the glimmer mist with the top off !!! Me and my room were showered with slate ink :-) actually it makes my craft area look more arty so I didn't clean it up ha ha ha :-)
I used some grey black magic coredinations for layering and then I finally got my sewing machine out ,,, aong with a flag or 2 !! and very carefully sewed wonky lines :-) The ribbon is like a mesh which I thought was quite spooky looking :-)

The DT have made some SPOOKTACULAR cards and creations for you to see so please go and see them on the challenge blog then go and leve them all a comment :-) You never know you may find some hidden candy !! :-)

Before I leave I will show you this card I made using the same sketch :-) The papers are all from the Funky Fairys A Lil bit Spooky kit It is a fabulous kit :-) The image is 'Witchy Poo' which I got as a free download from Doodle Palace :-) Isn't he cute :-)



The image was coloured with prisma pencils and copics and 3 D'd ;-) His feet and all the papers were distressed with black soot distress ink. The little bag of candy has bits of liquorice allsorts in it :-) Don't want her going hungry :-)
The Funky Fairys have a fab challenge starting today too so why not pop over there to see what it is !! :-)



There will be candy at the top of my blog later this morning so pop back later to see what it is :-)
I appreciate your comments and so does everyone on the DT so please leave one :-)
