Hello there and welcome back to the second day of the countdown teasers for the Clearly Besotted September 2021 release. I have a new home card for you today, and I thought that the Frightening Friends set was so fun with its great big pumpkin house and the Picture It Castle set has some brilliant sentiments! These two sets pair so well together. So here is my card.
I thought it would be fun to do some halloween stripes for my background so I grabbed some purple, green and orange cardstocks and cut them into 1cm strips. I then took a piece of printer paper and added some Stick It Adhesive onto it. Then I just adhered the strips down diagonally across and cut off any excess. The whole panel was trimmed down slightly and matted onto a horizontal top folding base card.
Next I stamped the pumpkin and two cats from Frightening Friends onto some white card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I coloured them with Copics. I have listed the Copic numbers below for your reference. I then fussy cut them out with scissors. I took another white panel and die cut it using a SSS Stitched Rectangle and then adhered the pumpkin down using wet adhesive and the two cats using foam tape.
I popped the whole panel into the MISTI and stamped a sentiment from Picture It Castle using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Such a great sentiment! There was a little gap that I needed to fill, so I searched my sets and found a bat in Balloon Bunch Halloween which I thought would go well. So I stamped it down onto some white card. After colouring it I fussy cut it out and added it into the scene with foam tape. I added a little bit of black glaze pen onto the cats eyes to finish the card off.
Before you head off, don’t forget to visit the Clearly Besotted blog, Michelle, Keren and our guests, Keeway, Alberto (Instagram) Adelle, and Francine. I’ll be back tomorrow with some more halloween fun for you. Until then, thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Aww, this is so adorable! What a wonderful scene! I love the cats with their pumpkin house and the bar is the perfect addition! Fantastic colouring. Those cardstock strips behind are perfect! Oh and I love that sentiment too! xx
