Kitty in a box postcard!

Hi everyone - hope you didn't eat too much candy last night! I didn't eat any, not even during Craft Roulette. Viewers eat chocolate whenever the host mentions her grandchildren (which she does often!) - LOL. Here's my project for Craft Roulette #291 which I submitted just before the LIVE ended:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain;

Tim Holtz Kraft Metallic

Stamps - Hero Arts Thanks Postcard (retired)

Colorado Craft Company Meowy Christmas (retired)

Dies - Hero Arts Celestial Fancy Dies

Press Plate w/dies - Spellbinders A Little Message Sentiments

Other - Hero Arts inks; foam tape

Since it was Halloween, host Mary Gunn started the episode dressed as her alter ego "Cool Mary", a hip biker chick. The guest Jay Thomas (‪@craftbyjay‬) wore a leopard jacket with ears on the hoodie - very funny. I didn't think the roulette wheel, spun 4 times for parameters, was very kind, but it all worked out.

• Project - Postcard(s): I stamped a postcard.
• Colors - Easter Basket: I used orange, yellow, green & pink.
• Element - Pack(s)(ing): I added a stamped kitty in a packing box.
• Random - Shiny: I die cut 3 metallic shiny stars.

I knew I had some postcard stamps around here somewhere. I went with the first one I found, an old Hero Arts cling from 2012. Guest Jay loves cats and seems to work a cat into every card he makes for Craft Roulette. So the joke was that "add a cat" was the fifth parameter. And I already had a cat stamp out to use - yay!! I had spotted the sweet kitty stamp as I was headed for the box with cling backgrounds. The kitty image has other presents around it but I just trimmed those off.

Stamped the postcard and trimmed with a narrow border. Inked around the edges. Stamped, colored and fussy cut the kitty and adhered to the postcard. Pulled a letterpressed sentiment from the stash and added a gold metallic shadow. Popped it onto the postcard overlapping the kitty box a bit. Die cut three gold metallic stars and adhered to the postcard - done!

I didn't turn on the porch light for trick-or-treaters last night. I still had some Halloween Kit Kat bars I could've handed out but I didn't want to leave Craft Roulette. It was cold and rainy so I'm thinking there weren't many kids out anyway...

Thanks for stopping & I hope you have a crafty weekend!!
