"When a Black Cat Crosses your Path"

Thank you everyone for visiting us and leaving all your wonderful
comments for the Cat Lovers Hop, Val and I love hearing from you all! We are busy hopping and leaving lots of love for everyone participating, however Val in the UK hasn't been able to comment on some entries, we're hoping it's just blogger/inlinkz gremlins and will re-visit those blogs in the next few days but if you don't get a comment from us please know we did try!
LeighSBDesigner Val's 31 Days of Halloween inspiration for Day 30 of our SPOOKtacular 31 Days of Halloween Hop+Challenge and Day 6 of the Cat Lovers Hop is a PURRtastic fancy shaped card featuring Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz from my
new Once Upon a Nightmare Collection!
I could not resist adding this fun saying to my A Wicked Compendium of Halloween Sayings! I thought that a fun poke at the superstition and it can be used on cat makes all year round too!
Val made her fancy shaped layered card with triangle dies and Hobby Craft Smooth White and Black cardstocks and stamped the brick wall design with a rubber stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink to ctreate her pathway. She then cut the Salem kitty silhouette included in my new Black Cat Silhouettes Layered SVG Cutz set from black cardstock and applied black embossing paste tothe cat and the wall panels to add some yummy texture. Check out the kinky wave Val did to the card point...it looks like the point of a witch's hat and even better...a cat's tail, LOL!
In celebration of the Cat Lovers Hop finale here's some more cat themed makes!

Great post today! Love all the wonderful spooky fun decorations and projects! Cats galore is striking! And I love the blood dripping on Skelly's coffin! How did u make that blood so realistic? Val's card make is different and a gorgeous design! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant cat projects and so many, Leigh! I have really enjoyed your creativity this last week and can't get that cutting machine out of my mind. I'm rubbish with technology though, so that is also at the back of my mind :) Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving kind words. x
ReplyDeleteThink I must have missed this post. What a fab set of makes!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love all of your creations! They are FABULOUS! And Aspen is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...such amazing creations! You gals are so talented. Val's project is so fun today with that sentiment and the cat. Love the cat-tail-shaped point at the top. It really does look like that!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I stilllll want to pet Aspen's tummy. Love these sweet photos of him. My favorite is the one where he is looking mischievously from behind his scratching post. Perhaps this is NOT the right time to pet his tummy after all! Ha.
Thank you so much for partnering with us and for all your great participation in the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop!!
