My card today uses Wild Things from The Greeting Farm. I made a few minor changes - I changed the ears on the bear to cat ears by tracing the shape of the top part of the head (including the bear ears) with pencil on a separate piece of card stock (at this point I had already stamped the image, colored it and cut it out with the bear ears). I then drew triangular cat ears over the top of the traced bear ears. When I liked the shape and size I went over it with a Copic Multiliner pen and colored it with the Copics to match the rest of the costume. At that point I trimmed off the bear ears, cut out the cat ears and about 1/2 inch below the ears and then glued them to the back of the head so the new ears stuck up in the same place that the bear ears used to be. I also added whiskers to the "cat" and a string on the beak of the bird so it would look like a Halloween mask. I also gave them little trick-or-treat bags using just a small square of DP that I drew jack-o-lantern faces on.
The papers are My Minds Eye (orange dot) and DCWV. I used my new EK Success punch for the top of the sky and colored everything with Copics:

This is beyond adorable! I love what you did with the bear. I looked at the card at first and thought, my set doesn't have a cat! So stinking clever! Love how you color too!
