I'm a Surprise Sweetie!

Hello, everyone!  Exciting news!  I am the Surprise Sweetie over at Cupcake Inspirations this week! Woohoo!


We have a theme challenge for you!


Check out our fabulous sponsor, which just happens to be one of my favourite stamp companies: Newton's Nook Designs!  I had so much fun making my card, and it has lots of layers!  I've had this stamp set in my stash for months and I've been waiting for fall so I could use it!


The set is called Newton's Perfect Pumpkin, and I coloured the stamped image with Prismacolor pencils.  I normally colour Newton as a tabby like my boys, but I decided he would be a black cat for this occasion. The fun sentiment, spider web, and "eek" are all from the same set. I stamped the spider too but messed up my stamping so I covered it with a glittery spider sticker.


The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Ghouls and Goodies, and the black die-cut border is from Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Borders.  I finished off the card with a strip of washi tape (Dollarama) and some tiny black gems (Want 2 Scrap). I followed the sketch over at Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge:

Hello KT - congrats on your "Surprise Sweetie" spot! So fun! I love this fun Halloween card - the colors are so great and I love that little bit of fun black cat washi tape. The little spiderweb and "eek" added in add such fun little details! Thanks for playing along with our Inky Paws Challenge at Newton's Nook Designs.

Since Halloween isn't a traditional thing here in Norway I make very few Halloween cards as I don't really use them. But love seeing what others make and in my opinion this card has perfect Halloween colors and cute image and detailing...
