What lovely samples of illustration in the Pinterest site for today's IC challenge - I found two Illustrations that inspired me basically because I could think of stamps I had to create my version of the illustration!
First I stamped the Spooky Tree Background stamp from Waltzingmouse on a white panel using True Black Ink from PTI. I stamped the foliage and daisies along with bottom with Archival Jet Black Ink. I made a mask by punching a piece of Eclipse tape with a circle punch and placed it where I wanted the moon to be. I sponged the whole panel with Smokey Shadow Distress Ink and then sponged the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I placed my Tim Holtz Speckles Stencil over the panel and inked over it with a Dew Drop Brilliance Midnight White ink pad to make my starry sky. I removed the circle mask and layered my die cut kitty from Poppy Stamps onto the tree branch with a foam dot.

Love the bg and fab tree. The cat is wonderful perched on a slender branch!

Amazing card, Julia. The moom has such a wonderful glow. The tree stamp with the flowers along the bottom are a perfect compliment for your silhouette cat. Pinned.
