Somehow this month is getting away from me in the craft room. I was getting worried I wouldn't have my cards made for https://twofercardchallenge.blogspot.com/ this month. The prompt is Critters and I used a black cat for mine on both cards.
The Halloween card is a Penny Black stamp inked in black ink and embossed in clear powder. Then brushed on a sky background. I used a Copic marker to color in the eyes and fussy cut the image out. I added it to a green card base and stamped the sentiment from a Poppy Stamps stamp. The cat on both cards is Impression Obession cut in black c/s.
The Christmas card uses a Poppy Stamp fireplace and logs. The logs were brushed with walnut stain DOX and the bricks were brushed in weathered wood DOX. The mouse in the stocking is Lawn Fawn colored with Copics and the fur is Stickles and the stocking is winked. Also used Lawn Fawn sentiment. The black cat on this one is shiny with Nuvo crystal glaze.
Whew, just in time.
Be kind to one another.

Beautiful image, Brenda, and you created two gorgeous cards. Kisses, my dear friend.
Two lovely cards and so different with the cat die-cut. I like the cute mouse in the stocking! I know what you mean, this month I've hardly made anything for my blog. x
Adorable twofer Brenda, I don't make Halloween cards, I didn't really grow up with them but this one makes me wish I had :).
I love your little cat and mouse scene for the Christmas card.
Cool twofer scenes with the black cat. He looks right at home in both.... maybe a little too much for the mouse’s liking in the Christmas card. 😂ha, ha
Two gorgeous cards Brenda, love the images and wonderful layouts.

What a cutie pie cat! He looks perfect on both your Halloween design and your Christmouse design, Brenda! As a scaredy cat he looks pretty courageous being on the outside looking in on that awesome snow globe Halloween scene! And he looks very non-threatening to that sweet mouse peeking out of the stocking hanging from that great fireplace mantle! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #20!! Hugs, Darnell
What a super cute and fun Twofer! I love how perfectly the black cat works on each card - so very clever of you :)
So very clever and creative and love how you have interpreted the challenge x.
Wow--so totally different! Terrific cards, Brenda! You're so good at making scenes!
Great Twofer! I love the diverse scenes and the cute kitty:)
What a wonderful, glossy coated cat, Brenda ... he obviously has a good home!! Your spooky halloween scene is fabulous with that background sky ... so atmospheric! The Christmas scene is adorable ... that little mouse looks safe and sound away from kitty, snugged up in his stocking ... wonder if Santa brought him as a gift for later!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
I'm glad you did it on time for Twofer challenge. Both cards are amazing. The halloween scene is superb. Also Christmas card is amazing with wonderful colored image and super cute word game. And with the cat, of course. :-)
Hugs, Sonja
BOTH are darling! Love the Halloween card and all it's beauty but also love that precious littlemouse on the second one. Great cards

I love your Twofers and I think they may be among the winners this time. Great Halloween scene and the Christmas card is darling too. You did great. I used black cats as well but I like your designs much better.
Lovely coloring on your Halloween card! Awesome spooky scene! Love the black cat on both cards and the mouse peeking out from the stocking is too cute! Great cards, Brenda!
If I was that cat, I'd be scared too, Brenda! What a spooky setting! Love the coziness of the Christmas cat. Great Twofers, my friend!
Two super cards Brenda, I love the background and scene on the Halloween one.

What a great way to combine a twofer for the upcoming seasons! Your black cat looks like she was made for that spooky scene! I love your ink blended sky! Now, is that cat thinking, "Aw Santa, you shouldn't have!" about that mouse? Hmmm - just like a cat! Thanks for joining the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
