🎃Day 26 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃  

and

😻Day 6 of the Cat Lovers Blog Hop😻

 I'm writing this post with a broken heart, our beloved family kitty, Mango, crossed the rainbow bridge today😿  Mango is the beautiful kitty on my LeighSBDesigns logo.  
 He was a very special kitty who refused to let a health condition spoil his fun, his vets called him a “miracle cat" coz he continued to defy all odds for many many years!  He amazed and delighted everyone who met him and he will be loved and missed forever😿

I didn't know that today would be such a sad day when I made my creation but I somehow just knew that my Kitty Pumpkin Hat drawing based on Mango had to be on the front of my Cat Cube😿 
 

Carved Skelly Cat sits proudly on top of my Cat Cube and he's double-sided so the Cat Cube can be enjoyed from any angle.

 All the images are coloured with Copics and white prismacolor pencil, fussy cut out and the edges outlined with a metallic silver gel pen.  Each kitty also has some Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen details for a touch of magical shimmer.

I applied Judikins Diamond Glaze to both sides of the Carved Skelly Cat to give him a nice dimensional sculptural look and applied the glaze to just the eyes of all the kitties featured on each side of the Cat Cube.  I added white Dylusions paint pen hightlights to all their eyes.

 This is our precious baby Mango as Kitty Pumpkin Hat😻

 This is Tangled Vampire Cat.

 This one called Kitty Cuddles came out to play for this project even though this lovely Mom and Baby aren't Halloween images.

This one is Kitty Luna.

All the panels are decorated with my Skull Roses Collage coloured with Tea Dye and Fired Brick Distress Inks and edged with Midas Spectrum Noir silver pigment ink.  The mat layers under each panel are die cut from Crafter's Companion black glitter card.  I coated the entire top Skull Roses panel with Judinkins Diamond Glaze and then adhered the Carved Skelly Cat, Tim's Skull Fragments, black metal roses and silver metal corner adornments.

I stained the unfinished wooden cube from Michaels with Black Soot Distress Stain and applied Spectrum Noir silver gilding wax to all the edges.  I decorated all the panels with Tim's Batty Crazy bats die cut from CC black heavy weight cardstock and coated with clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint.

I added tiny stars die cut from white cardstock painted with Spectrum Noir gold sparkle pen using one of Tim's Swirling Stars dies.  I then finished my elegant Cat Cube with Tim's metal foundations.

🎃Day 17 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃 
From Regions Beyond the King of Death comes to reap your souls!
 

The Quirkleighs CarnEvil Grimm Reaper is back to scare you on my mixed media card today! 

I coloured a close-up of the Quirkleighs CarnEvil Grimm Reaper with Copics and added white Prismacolor pencil highlights and metallic gold details with a gel pen before fussy cutting him out.
Before printing him out I performed digital magic and flipped him coz I wanted his scythe to curve to the left but retained the orientation of the “Soul Eater” symbol on the blade.

The gorgeous Crowned Skull is by Stampendous and I stamped the large collage with black pigment ink onto a sheet of mixed media coloured cardstock I made with Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive and Black Soot Distress Oxide Sprays with a bit of Midas Gold Spectrum Noir pigment ink randomly applied with a sea sponge for a touch of bling.  I used a large Stitched Rectangle die by Crafter's Companion to die cut the collage out and layered it onto a sheet of Tim's paper from the Abandoned Paper Stash.

I then grunged up all 4 sides of the card front panel with Black Soot Distress Ink before applying Midas Gold Spectrum Noir pigment ink to the card edges.  I then applied clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint with Tim's Decayed layering stencil.

 

From matt black Crafter's Companion heavy weight cardstock I die cut lace using one of Tim's Crochet dies and spiderwebs using a fun Marvel Spiderman web die.  I added a touch of sparkle to the webs with Onyx Black Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.

I rubbed Spectrum Noir Inca Gold gilding wax over the crackle paint on the panel, on the die cut lace as well as Tim's Quote Chip "From Regions Beyond".  I then mounted the card panel onto a folded card base made from the matt black CC cardstock, then added the spiderwebs to 3 corners, the lace off center on the edge of the collage panel and then mounted the Grimm Reaper in place with black dots.  I completed my card with the Quote Chip embellished with Tim's Hardware Heads.

🎃Day 3 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃

Quirkleighs CarnEvil RingMistress mixed media decor! 

You're now the captive audience inside the Quirkleighs CarnEvil big top!
Entranced you stare at the strange and beautiful creature standing in the center of the ring!

You jump when The RingMistress cracks her whip!
 

The CarnEvil show has begun!

I coloured The Quirkleighs CarnEvil RingMistress with Copics and white Prismacolor pencil detailing then added luxurious details with a metallic gold gel pen and white gel pen highlights.

I completely fussy cut her out including her whip!  To give the whip strength and glamorous dimension I applied Judikins Diamond glaze to it and then painted it with a metallic gold Prismacolor pen.

The decor piece is a wooden wonky house I gave new life to.
You can see my original projects here!
 

I created the decorative background with Tim's new Shifter Rays large layering stencil and Distress Oxides:  Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick, Candied Apple, Ground Espresso and Black Soot Distress Ink.

I used a Crafter's Companion Decorative Edge die to cut the bottom edge of the decorative background panel and a black Sheena heavy weight cardstock panel to give the feel of a Big Top tent frill.  I used foam tape to pop the decorative panel off of the black panel and then pop dots to adhere The RingMistress to the decorative background.  I love doing dramatic dimension!

I chose a fun striped design from Tim's Idea-ology Retro Grunge paper pad, grunged it up with Black Soot Distress Ink and applied Distress Rock Candy Crackle Paint.

I made decorative panels for the sides of the wonky house using mixed media cardstock, Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Candied Apple and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Sprays and the faBOOlous large Pumpkin Spooks rubber stamp by Stampendous stamped in black pigment ink.

I grunged up all the panels with Black Soot Distress Ink and applied Ranger Texture Paste coloured with Dylusions black paint using Tim's large Grime layering stencil.  I finished off all the edges with Midas Gold Spectrum Noir metallic pigment ink. 

 
 I elevated the wonky house to new heights by adding one of Tim's Vignette Finials which I painted black.  I then applied Pebeo gold gilding wax to the finial and all the edges of the wonky house for even more grungy gold bling including Tim's fun Idea-ology Quote Chip which was the perfect width for the base of my decor piece.  The perfect finishing touch are the two die cut Bat Crazy bats by Tim cut from black Sheena heavy weight cardstock and coated with Distress Rock Candy crackle paint.

The Quirkleighs CarnEvil RingMistress is on FLASH SALE until midnight tonight pacific!
