"Pennywise the k...IT...ten Clown"

Today is National Cat Day and I just couldn't resist creating this creeptastic chunky coffin plaque for you today inspired by IT chapter 2!

There's new scary clown act at the Quirkleighs CarnEvi!

Here's Carved Skelly Cat as Pennywise the kITten!
Want a balloon? mwahahahaha

Carved Skelly Cat is on FLASH SALE until midnight pacific tonight!

To create this wicked chunky coffin I started off by altering an ArtMinds corrugated plaque!
I covered the plaque with black cardstock then wrapped the edges with Recollections washi tape.

I created my kITen scene in Photoshop using Carved Skelly Cat and 2 balloons from my Birthday Bunny image that's available as a freebie in LeighSBDesigns Facebook Fan Group and printed it out onto mixed media cardstock.

I coloured the images wtih Copics, Prismacolor pencils and a metallic gold gel pen, white Dylusions paint pen and a black micron fineliner.

Then painted kITen's red face paint with a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen and applied a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze to kitty's eyes, nose, the red balloons and the "IT" writing.

I created the decaying background with Derwent Pastel Pencils, Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink, Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Inks using Tim's Grime and Decayed layering stencils.

The blood drips are die cut from Tim's red Kraft Core cardstock using the Drip Edge die.

I grunged up the blood drips with Black Distress ink then applied clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint to the die cuts and all the edges of the plaque using the Decayed stencil.

I used craft gauze to make the clown ruffles and adhered it to the cat with glue.

To darken the coffin plaque edges I sprayed them with Black Soot Distress Oxide Spray and then adhered the blood drips to the coffin plaque. I used Spectrum Noir Inca Gold gilding wax to enhance all the dimensional cracked paint.

A closer look at all the details!

When Witches go riding and black cats are near,
the moon laughs and whispers HALLOWEEN is here...

I've got a spooktacular tag to share with you today featuring my ghoulie, Oddleigh Witchiepoo!
She's on FLASH SALE until midnight pacific tonight!

I coloured Oddleigh Witchiepoo with Copics and some white gel pen highlights, plus a 2nd print of just her witch hat and then fussy cut them all out. The witch hat is layered on top of the base image with black pop dots and I blinged up her hat and boots with Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen for lots of yummy magical shimmer.

I created my background paper with mixed media cardstock coloured with Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Candied Apple and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Sprays and the faBOOlous Pumpkin Spooks rubber stamp by Stampendous stamped in black pigment ink.

I used Tim's largest Stacked Tags die to cut the tag out of the background card and layered it onto Crafter's Companion matt black cardstock and trimmed leaving a narrow black border. Then from the same black cardstock I die cut out Tim's Bat Crazy bats, the Moonlit Owl, a Ghost Town house, a Crochet border and also a banner with a Crafter's Companion pennant die.

I stamped the Stampendous quote from their Faboolous stamp set onto the banner with Midas Spectrum Noir gold pigment ink and embossed with gold embossing powder then pounced the pigment ink around the edges of the banner.

I adhered the Moonlit Owl die cut onto the tag and trimmed away the excess then sparkled it up with Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen. I used Spectrum Noir Inca Gold on the house and glued scraps of my Distress Oxide papers to the back to give all the windows the lit glow. The bats all got a coat of clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint and I also pounced the gold pigment ink onto the crochet border.

I stamped the fun Hunkydory Cat's Meow stamp with CC's gold pigment ink onto another piece of Distress Oxide coloured cardstock and embossed with PSX Black Sparkle embossing powder. Then fussy cut the kitty out leaving a narrow border. I then glued all the elements to the tag and adhered Oddleigh Witchiepie with more black pop dots so she really pops nicely off the tag. I then finished off the scene with the stars die cut from white cardstock painted with Spectrum Noir gold sparkle pen. The stars are from one of Tim's Swirling Stars dies.

🎃Day 24 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019🎃

and

😻Day 4 of the Cat Lovers Blog Hop😻

On a recent dig in Egypt a mysterious Pyramid Box was discovered! Horus the Egyptian Cat proudly sits upon the lid of the mummy cloth bound box surrounded by hieroglyphs embossed in precious silver😻 The handsome Cat god thinks hoomans are Foolish Mortals coz no matter how many times we're warned about mummy curses we're still going to open the box!!!!

FLASH SALE
Horus the Egyptian Cat is on sale until midnight pacific tonight!

I coloured Horus the Egyptian Cat with Copics and white prismacolor pencil with metallic silver gel pen details. I used a cool colour palette for the entire project except for Horus' eyes which are orange so they'd stand out nicely. I mounted Horus onto Crafter's Companion matt black cardstock for extra chunkiness and fussy cut him out.

To make the pyramid box I used Crafter's Companion Gemini Triangular Double-sided Box dies and die cut the base and lid out of Crafter's Companion Sheena white heavy weight cardstock.

I then coloured the box pieces with Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Oxide Sprays. I also stained a length of Tim's Mummy Cloth with the same sprays.

Using Midas Spectrum Noir Silver pigment ink I stamped the Judikins hieroglyphs rubber stamp all over the box base and lid and embossed with silver embossing powder.

Once the box pieces were assembled I adhered Tim's Halloween Words metal Adornment to the box with foam tape to add dimension and added the mummy cloth to the loops and secured the cloth in place around the box lid with glue dots and tied the ends together on the back of the box.
