Vampire Cat Treat Bag

Today, I'm sharing one last Halloween treat bag...this time the critter is from the Penny Black 'Be Very Scared!' set. I stamped him onto a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then used one of my Nesties to cut out the circle shape. I paired it with papers from the Glitz 'Raven' pad (the black one), and snippets from a pad from The Works (the purple one), and Mind's Eye 'Boo to You!' collection. I matted all of the layers onto snippets of black card...cutting the scalloped circle using another Nestie die, then added it to a kraft gift bag.

PBSC October - Anything Goes (Optional 'Halloween Bingo')...More Inspiration!

Prize - a $20 voucher!

This time, I decided to use the four corners on the bingo card, but actually ended up using all but two squares! The trick or treating cat is from the 'Be Very Scared' set...I stamped him, along with a sentiment from the 'Spooky' set...on to some watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then used one of my Nesties to cut the circle shape. I used papers from the 'Raven' pad by Glitz for the background, distressing the edges a little, and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

I'm also entering this treat bag into the following challenges:

• C.R.A.F.T. - Halloween/Autumn Colours
• Crafty Calendar - Autumn/Halloween Colours
• Crafty Catz - Anything Goes (Optional 'Lots of Layers')
