2019 Cat Lovers Hop - Day 3

Hello, everyone! Today is Day 3 of the 2019 Cat Lovers Hop! Thank you to Janis at Her Peaceful Garden for hosting this fun hop with lots of games and prizes!  I've just been over there visiting all the links and I've seen some adorable kitty inspiration!  Lots of kitty photos too!  If you're a cat lover like me, you won't want to miss out!

Today I'm sharing a pumpkin-shaped card for fall! I dusted off another one of my old wood-mounted stamps! This one is by Stampendous - Fluffles the Cat, called Fluffles Leap dated 2005. I coloured the image with my markers (Bic Mark-its and Dollarama Crafts) and then fussy-cut.

I decided to make a big pumpkin using my decorative oval dies. I die-cut three ovals from orange cardstock and inked the edges with Distress Oxide (I used Carved Pumpkin, then Rusty Hinge, and then Brushed Corduroy until I got the look I wanted - the first two colours didn't show up very well). I mounted the centre oval on craft foam to make the shape look more like a pumpkin. For the stem, I used a fox's tail die and tied some eyelash trim for texture. My pumpkin shape was inspired by this YouTube video. I adhered Fluffles and embellished with three metallic leaves (red, orange, and gold). I love how this card turned out!
