I'd like you to meet Sparkle, the kitty.
He's a fun Memory Box die cut from Black Glimmer Paper.
The background and pumpkin are from my Gel Press play.
I thought it would make a fun Halloween card for one of the grandkids.
So I did another.
This card base was stenciled with the same color ink as the cardstock.
I'd used the same stencil on my Gel Press piece that the pumpkin was cut from.
The background is a paper towel transfer from my stash.
I used a Circle Thin Frame die on a scrap of black then cut in half for the mouth
and cut the points off a punched star for the eyes and nose.
I do like a happy Jack-o-lantern face!
You can see better how Sparkle got his name in this next photo.
I used some Schparkly Embossing Powder on the sentiment.

What a cute design and I love the use of your gelli prints! Clever way to embellish your pumpkin too. These really are great Halloween cards for the grandkids. Love the sparkle paper for you kitty!
Darling kitty with pumpkin, Bonnie! Just love them against the fence with your gelli background and tree branch!!
Both cards are absolutely ADORABLE and I am totally in LOVE with your sparkly black cat...think I might NEED that die!! Loving your gel press pumpkins too! The grands are going to LOVE these cards!! Hugs. :0)
I love them ALL! Sparkle kitty is quite fabulous, as are your fun jacks!
I adore that cute glittery kitty and the gel press play pieces look great for the pumpkins and the background on the first. These beautiful fun Halloween cards will be well received I'm sure Bonnie. x
Great set of Halloween cards. The smiling pumpkins are so cute and fun. Love the sparkle, especially the glittery black cat.
where did summer go? I can't believe Halloween is just around the corner :)
great die cut card and love the texture on your pumpkin.
Sparkle kitty is so pretty and her eyes are so shiny. I love the pumpkins and texture you gave them.
How can a card be cute and beautiful at the same time - hmmm - I guess I will have to ponder that.
I am a cat lover and do love the sophisticated cat just in time for the big boo day.
That picture of me was taken 10 years ago! Oh how time changes us.
Happy Halloween to come Bonnie.

I like Sparkle, and his friends are darling, too!
You've had such success with your gelli prints - have you noticed I haven't used any of mine?

Oh, gosh, so cute! I love the kitty. I know nothing about gel press, but I know I love the pretty patterns and colors on those pumpkins! I like the fence on the second card, too.
Two fun cards, Bonnie, and I sure to spy that Sparkle! Great texture in these cards
Awesome cards Bonnie. I love your pumpkins and the adorable black cat! Such great designs with your gelli press and paper towel backgrounds. xx
What fun Halloween cards Bonnie! I love Sparkles, the cat. He sure does sparkle! What beautiful prints you have gotten with your gelli press plate. I also love the beautiful soft paper towel background too. I love happy faces on pumpkins as well, they just make me smile! Hugs, Brenda
Hi Bonnie! Your halloween cards are awesome! IU love the kitty and pumpkin but that bit of stencil on the first? Total eye candy!
The grandkids will be pleased as punch. I imagine Halloween will be different this year. Guess grandmom will definitely compensate with a bag of treats to accompany these very special cards. Love the monochrome gelli prints. These are great cards to accompany that Sparkle kitty xx
Both Halloween cards are so cute, Bonnie! Love the texture of gelli prints, the sparkle of cute black cats, and the smile of the pumpkin! The designs are wonderful too!

I love all the texture on the pumpkins, Bonnie, and Sparkle is a cutie.
