Day 27 of 31 Days of Halloween
Day 4 of CAT-O-WEEN Week
"The Moon Made Me Do It"
Bastet Circle Tunnel Card
by Leigh
Today is the 4th day of CAT-O-WEEN Week where our annual 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop is taken over by prowling kitties as we play along in the Cat Lovers Hop with our Halloween themed Cat makes! LeighSBDesigns is
delighted to be a Prize Sponsor again this year so do come and join the
fun!
Deep in the enchanted Furness Forest lies a mysterious lake where the eerie light of the Wicked Moon filters down into the untold depths. In the watery darkness Bastet the Catfish is mesmerized by the moon and purrs with delight as she plays mischievously with the glistening bubbles rising up to the magical star filled sky.
I printed Bastet the CatFishand fussy cut her with an offset and a matching shadow mat layer from black cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4. I used Prismacolor pencils in a watery colour scheme to colour her and painted her eyes with glow-in-the-dark paint. I cut Bastet’s bubbles out with scissors and applied glossy accents to the bubbles and Bastet’s tail adornment for a glass-like effect. I then printed the Wicked Moon and “The Moon Made Me Do It”, from A Wicked Compendium of Halloween Sayings, with a blue-green tint and fussy cut them and a shadow mat layer for the saying out with my Cameo as well. For a touch of magical shimmer I added clear Spectrum Noir glitter ink to the Wicked Moon and Bastet. Next I printed out the Furness Forest Winter Treescape and used the circle base layer from the Bubbly Depths Circle Tunnel SVG Cutz set to cut the scene out. To create my enchanted sky I coloured it with Hickory Smoke and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks plus a few sprinkled water droplets and glow-in-the-dark dots. I used 3 more of the bubbly layers and cut those out of hematite, lime and turquoise glitter paper from Scrapbook.com’s Mixed Metals and Rainbow glitter pads which I then adhered together. I cut 2 more base circle layers from black cardstock to make my circle folded card and adhered the skyscape panel to it before adding the glitter layers on top with foam tape and Bastet Catfish was also adhered in place with foam tape for lots of fun dimension.
Now for the magic!!!
When a cloud obscures the glow of the Wicked Moon the stars glitter and Bastet’s eyes glow in the watery darkness.

"Have a FINtastic Day"
Bastet FantaSea Pet
card by GDT Tee
Tee joins us today as guest designer with her FINtastic card featuring digi stamps from my new FantaSea Collection 🧜🏻♀️
Tee created her wonderful scene by first resizing Bastet CatFish FantaSea Pet and Senti set and theFantaSeaScape in Google Docs then printed the scene onto a card panel. Tee then coloured the images with markers and used a white gel pen to add highlights. She printed the senti out separately and then outlined both the senti and the main card panel with a marker before matting the main panel onto a folded white card blank and completed her card with the matching senti. 🧜🏻♀️
What a FINtastic Bastet card, thanks for being our GDT today Tee❤️
