Over at the Woodware USA blog the challenge is to make a card using Halloween colors. I'm not much into Halloween and do not have many Halloween stamps. I took out all of my Woodware sets and was inspired by the cat in the House Proud set - which led me to this design.
I stamped the window first and then stamped the cat. The cat is a line art image so I colored it in with a black Copic marker. I water colored the sunset and moon. The paper pieced curtains are mounted on foam squares.
ETA - This also qualifies for the CAS version of the Midnight Madness sketch #77
