I’m back today with more Halloween goodness from Mama Elephant, in particular I’m thinking about Halloween coloring. This cute witch cat is from the Meowlloween set, she’s inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and then cut out with the matching dies along with the broom from the same set. Colour plays a big part in creating an image which is recognisable as being for a certain Holiday or Season. Purple, green, yellow, orange and black are traditional Halloween colours and by using them we subconsciously send a Halloween signal to the brain even before we view the card in more detail!
To set the scene I die cut a circle from masking paper and used the negative of the mask to blend a circle of inks (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord) on a panel of white card. With the base colours started I picked purple Copics for the witch outfit with yellow accents but was undecided as to what colour for the kitty. I was thinking of a black witch’s cat so headed in that direction but kept the colour more on the grey side to hint at being a black cat but without becoming too dark and loosing detail.
The scene is finished with the cute speech bubble and sentiment from the Meowlloween Extras set along with a sprinkling of sequins and dots of Stickles glitter glue before mounting the panel on a Jelly Bean card base.
You can find the new Mama Elephant sets including this Meowlloween one at both Mama Elephant and Simon Says Stamp.

Debbie, I have been following you for several months and am so impressed with your talent! This Meowoleen card is so cute! I love your Copic skills. Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects.
I’m shaking in my boots. LOL. This set is adorable but you’ve made this little image come to life. Great coloring and the is the cutese witches broom I’ve ever seen.
Difficult to be afraid of that cute little face! Love your coloring and details on the scary card.
Super cute!!
Love this cute kitty cat! Thanks for sharing.
Such a cute little kitty witch. Love the background you created. And I like that you hinted at a black cat without blocking out all the detail. Cute design.TFS
As you said, the colors are important for Halloween and the Jelly Bean back is wonderful with the design you used. I noticed the way it made it all pop right away before I read your comment on that.
What a fabulous card. I love the background you created and the trail of sequins, so adorable!
Love your colors and your cute little witch.
