Frightening Feline

 I don't have a lot of Halloween stamps, but as I was looking through my stash, I had completely forgotten about this 2012 Stampin Up stamp Frightening Feline!  This was probably the most simple card I've made in a long time!



I black embossed the image and then spritz the paper with water and added Ken Oliver orange Color Burst.  Then, added some black sequins (the little bat is also a sequin) and finished the card with black/white bakers twine.  Voila!  Instant Halloween card!

Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration (and for helping find this cute stamp :)
