TCP's hAuNteD BLoG hOp

WELCOME to my spooky stop on The Cat's Pajama's Haunted Hop! I am the second hop stop of fourteen. You should have arrived here from Susan's Blog, she is the TCP hostess with the mostest this week and she has all the details of how to play along in the TCPTUES78 Challenge! After me you will hop on to visit Tracy!
--------------------
Alma is having a frighteningly fun sale featuring a new Kitty Kat Pack - which is the "Fright Night" set, the buttons and glitter for $24.39. Nothing scary about that sale price! As an added bit of fun, Alma will be giving away a Kitty Kat Pack to a lucky winner. To qualify, all you need to do is visit the fourteen blogs and leave a comment on each Blog in the Haunted Hop. The winner will be posted on Alma's Blog "Dancing in Pajamas" on Friday, October 2nd.
--------------------
Now I have a few projects to share with you before you hop away!
--------------------
These look like fun ghosts! Like Casper, hardly the scary kind! Here's a tip - I wanted orange DP to match my orange card stock, So I used Black and White DP brayering it with orange to get my perfect color match. I used an oval punch on the bottom to frame the sentiment. I also used a Copic to color my embroidery floss - so it would match up too, before I sewed my buttons on! A few doodles with a Black Micron Pen and White Gel Pen around my Nestie shape and the outside of the card...Easy Peasy...DONE! Finished card size is an A2.
--------------------
Here is card #2.... I used the same technique as above and brayered orange over the originally Black and White Checkered DP. A simple little layout that is full of Halloween FUN colors! I added some eyelets, then used some Black Jute String and a black button to hang the Frog Wizard's Portrait. I added a little Spica Sparkle to his Wizard's Cap and embellished with some Crystals around the edges. Finished card size is an A2.
--------------------
And we will end with the hairy Jute Leg Spider Buttons.... I used red line tape to adhere my Sparkly Glitter around the sentiment's frame. I chose a few buttons and glued black jute string on the bottom of them for spidey legs. They are hanging from their Spider's Silk Rope (really it's just white Embroidery Floss) wishing everyone a Happy Halloween. I added some eyes and bling to help give them their own identity! A little embroidery floss bow with a center crystal to finish it up! Final card size is 5" Square.
--------------------

Hope my spiders weren't too scary! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my projects made with TCP's new Kitty Kat Pack! Leave me a comment below for your chance to WIN! And after that please head over to the third stop on the TCP Haunted Hop and see what Halloween Fun Tracy (<------ click) has in store for you!
