The Ways to Use It Challenge today is all about cats. My Halloween card has a couple of metal confetti cats...every good witch needs a cat, right? Personally, I have never had a cat...I've had parrots for so long, bringing a cat in just didn't seem like a good idea....I picture Sylvester & Tweety Bird. Eventually, the parrot is going to look a lot like lunch to the cat!
For my ghoul friends, I stamped the witch feet on the right & used the mirror image tech (or reflection) technique for the one on the left. After coloring both, I over stamped the one on the right w/ Versafine but used a very fine Micron pen to go over the one on the left. I accidentally dropped the dark purple Copic on the background so I just did a Pointillism tech in the area all around the witches. The hats were fussy cut & added on top of the bracket border strip along w/ the greeting.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

You're probably right about no cats - though my half-brother has several cats and an African Grey and has never had any problems...and he has the big Bengal cats, too. But my canary, when I was a child, did meet a sad catty fate.
Those little cat confetti are totally delightful and make a perfect accent. If you hadn't mentioned that the pointillism was a recovery job, I'd never have known - it looks so perfect as if you had always intended to do it.
