Black Cat Season #2020CatLoversHop

 I'm not a Halloween fan, but  I'll take any excuse to stamp a black cat! Especially as today is Day 1 of the Cat Lovers Hop over at Her Peaceful Garden - if you'd like to find out more about it, click on the pretty kitty badge which you'll find in the sidebar over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

My first card is sort-of Halloweeny - I don't have any Halloween sentiments but I've used the traditional orange and purple colours for the background. 


I smooshed the orange ink onto the card - it was pure luck that splodges the perfect size to spotlight the kitties formed - then blended in the purple to fill the gaps. The stamps are from a set I bought from a cat gift shop that was getting rid of all their craft supplies (foolish people!) and didn't have a brand name on the pack. 

Naturally I am joining in with the Cat Lovers Hop


And I'm also sharing at Sweet Stampin as it's the closest I'm likely to get to a Halloween card!

Purple and orange are the perfect colors to show off these black cats for a Halloween feel. The little paw print and sentiment add a charming touch as well!

I always love silhouettes against a gorgeous blended background...and yours with these black cats is just wonderful!! Love the little squiggly flourish at the bottom with the pawprint, too.
