Spooktacular... sneak peak week from IO!

Welcome to the first day of our CHA Summer DT Blog Hop to preview our Fall/Winter stamps.   We are celebrating right along with those attending CHA in IL this week too.  We will be awarding $25 Gift Certificates daily this week for those of you who play along with the hop each day, picking random comments from the blog posts.  The new stamps will soon be in the on-line store to make it even more fun. Check out the Impression Obsession Blog for all the deets!

Of course I'm leading off with a new Gary Robertson image featuring his signature little black cat incorporated in to the design. No surprise there... right!!!! The design is actually a little larger than I show on my card... on top of the pumpkin stack it has a moon and a crow ... I covered and cut the image this time. 

Well.... here you can see what I cut and covered from the image. I used YR00 and YR0000 in the background. Lots of random fall colors for the leaves, bleeding the colors together.  I darkened the cat with C7.

I used a Cover-a Card Gingham stamp in the background... I think this is my most used CAC stamp! I created a hand cut banner for the "Spook-tacular" sentiment and bent it gently, curling it around my fingers. Under the banner I used Dimensional Silicone to "prop" it up and keep the bend in place. I used Perfect Layers Rulers to add all the layers to the card. FInished card size is an A2.
