My crafty friend Tina (YT: The Scrappin Rabbit<\/a><\/span>) asked me if I would join her in a collab to craft some Halloween projects with the theme Cute Critters. Well, if you know me, you know she hit the nail on the head with the theme because I cannot resist cute critters (especially puppies) so I was all in. If you’re interested in participating in the accompanying challenge (the prize is fantastic and there is nothing to mail in), I will link to it in the video (linked below) for this project.<\/p>\n

I don’t normally keep a lot of colored card stock, and I like the softer, more natural look of inked card stock for die cutting, so I made this slim line scene card largely with inked papers. The background sky was blended on with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire<\/a><\/span> and Peacock Feathers<\/a><\/span> with a hint of sunset yellow added with Mustard Seed<\/a><\/span>. The MFT Grassy Hillsides<\/a><\/span> were colored with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peeled Paint<\/a><\/span> and Forest Moss<\/a><\/span>. And the Diemond Dies Spooky Tree<\/a><\/span> (sold out but this is a similar spooky tree<\/a><\/span>) was inked up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Gathered Twigs<\/a><\/span> and Walnut Stain<\/a><\/span>. The only part that I die cut from colored papers was the Diemond Dies Spooky House<\/a><\/span>, which I made with black and tangerine orange card stock scraps.<\/p>\n

For the Fun Stampers Journey Costumed Cuties<\/a><\/span>, I Copic colored and fussy cut out all the puppies and the Jack-O-Lantern treat bags filled with bones as follows:
\nCorgi Dracula<\/span>:
\nEars: R20; Brown fur: E11, E13 and E15; White fur: W0 and W1; Cape: N4, N5, and N9; R24, R27, R29 and R39; Cape closure: Y38
\nPirate Pup (colored up like my Babaloo)<\/span>:
\nBlack fur: W7, and W9; White fur: W0 and W1; Red scarf: R24, R27 and R29; Black hat and black and grey striped shirt: N2, N3, N4, N5, N7 and N9
\nBulldog Frankenstein’s Monster<\/span>:
\nBrown fur: E55, E57 and E59; Ears: R20; Green shirt: YG61, YG63, and YG67; White and grey side screws: W0 and N2
\nJack-O-Lantern Treat Bags<\/span>:
\nBlue: B00, B01 and B02; Orange: YR01, YR04 and YR09
\nI added highlight lines with Signo Uniball White Gel Pen<\/a><\/span>, darkened the eyes and noses with Sakura Black Glaze Pen<\/a><\/span> and added shine on the bones and noses with Ranger Glossy Accents<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To add some extra little finishing touches, I splattered on some white acrylic paint to create the sense of a starry night. To cover up some of my over-splatter and smudges, I added 3 glittered card stock bats (they were included in my collab package). As a finishing touch a also used Art Glitter Glue<\/a><\/span> with a Fine Tip Nozzle<\/a><\/span> to glue on a handful of tiny metallic stars that were part of the sequin mix.<\/p>\n
