Time to take a break from Christmas cards and show you a little something for Halloween. The cat in the pumpkin stamp is a design by Gary Robertson and is called Cat in the Jack (E1842). I colored the pumpkin with some Faber-Castell markers, cut out the cat/pumpkin, and layered it on top of a circle I cut from cream paper. I edged the circle with a little Scattered Straw Distress Ink just to give it a little dimension. For the background, I stamped the Clouds Cover a card background with black Versafine ink onto grey cardstock to create a night scene. To create the ground, I just added a piece of plain grey paper that I edged with some Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Finally, I added the Purr-fectly Frightful saying (B5479).Want to see more new IO samples? Check out what Daniela, Deborah, Dina, Jeanne, and Jenny created.

So so cute!
I'm trying to resist that cloud background stamp, but OMG, your card is fabulous! Love the background done on gray CS - what a great idea! Thanks for sharing a bit of Halloween on this unbearably hot morning, and for a wonderful week of inspiration! Have a great weekend...
I can't believe I never thought of using the CAC on only half the card ... you're an inspiration with your breathtaking card.
Love how you created the cloudy night time sky with the CAC and inks. Perfect Halloween card.
This is so well done with the clouds background and the lovely orange and that super moon! Just perfect!
Wow! I love halloween images. This is a great card!
That cloud background is fabulous with this image! The pumpkin and the sweet kitty are awesome too! I love how you added the plain gray piece for the pumpkin to sit on!
This is one of my fav Halloween images ever! Looks awesome!
SO impressed!! The scene you created looks like an actual stamp at first glance - well done! Love that moon you made and how you used the cover a card clouds. Thanks so much for telling HOW you did it. Those kinds of narrations help to get me thinking about my supplies and how I can use your ideas to improve my creations. Happy weekend, Laura!

Wow! Love your card and I am so glad you made a quick tutorial! I have the cloud stamp and am definitely going to try the black on grey!
Why is it that you guys can tempt me to make Halloween cards-- when we don't even "DO" Halloween here! Just stinkin' cool. I love the sentiment. Darling in every way!
That is one cool background! Thanks for showing a different take on it as I could only imagine it stamped in blue, for a daytime scene.
Great card for Halloween - love the kitty in the pumpkin!!!
Great combination of stamps!
Fantastic! tfs
