I've used a Plum Purdy cat and Whipper Snapper bats, both of which are years old. Tee hee! Love those bats!
Hillside edges were swiped with white ink. Die cut sentiment. Coloring was done with Copics. This slimline card measures 9" x 3 3/4".
The next card is made with Impression Obsession dies and another Cloudy Skies background. Same inks, different cloud layers, no splatters. The little ghosts are sequins. I added Wink of Stella to the sentiment.
I'm sending my slimline card over to the Shopping Our Stash Challenge #430 - On Trend - Slimline. Between the awesome DT and the players' gallery there are some fabulous cards and great slimline ideas!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon. Take care!
Card #2 -- No stamps. Ink and paper same as above with the addition of SU Apricot Appeal for die cut sentiment. Other: Wink of Stella, ghost sequins, Impression Obsession dies Halloween Hill and Happy Halloween

Cool card, we don't do halloween over her but love what you made. Been playing with the cloud stencil and still trying to get the hang of it. Found some great tuts.....xx
I'm not sure my comment was sent. My crazy fingers are all over the place this morning. You have made this old lady smile this morning! Both cards are wonderful but the first one is the one that made me giggle! I love that silly cat with the arched back and your colors are wonderful. Have a great rest of the week!
Both cards are certainly cute for Halloween, those eeek bats made me laugh and the cat is a great stamp. Love the 2nd card too and what a clever idea with the sequin ghosts! Loving those pretty~pretty clouds and their pretty colors. Dar and I are starting a new challenge blog to debut soon, and it's a year round Halloween one. I am sending out Halloween cards this year, as a card maker I am slacking in that department...HAH!!
Leslie, as much as I love the Holidays, Halloween is my favorite season for making cute, spooky cards.
Your card is exactly that, my friend, love those laughing bats looking down on this poor kitty whose face says it all.
The sky is marvelous and the colors "spooktacular" on this card.
Thank you for playing along with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH!!

Leslie, your second card is also fabulous, I'm just in awe at that sky and clouds, and I love that super cute die, very, very "spooky" indeed.
Fabulous glittery sentiment too.

Both are so well designed and fantastic. Wonderful Halloween card designs.
I love the colors you used for the cloudy skies. So pretty. Both cards are well done but of course, my favorite is Plum Purdy Cat. So adorable. I also like the slimline. That really seems to be a "thing" these days. I'm seeing more and more of them in challenges.
OMG! How cute are these Halloween cards and what clever designs!! I'm tellin' ya ... I would never have thought to do the sky in colors like that but they looks awesome! You are such a clever lady! LOL Thanks for Halloween inspiration and I see Diane has already clued you in on our latest adventure LOL ... call us crazy! But we're having fun!! That's what life is about right? LOL Hugs
Great cards Leslie, I have that IO halloween hill die it is such a fun die and a quick card maker. Your sky is fabulous. The grinning bats are darling and I love that cat!
Looks like a great challenge, I will have to head over there soon. Fabulous cards, Leslie! I LOVE the effect you achieved with the cloudy skies stencil, it's amazing! I don't have Dried Marigold but I've been seeing lots of it.Adorable cards and images!
Hi, Leslie! Your darling Halloweenie cards take cuteness to a whole new "beauty" level! LOVING the big smiles on your non-vamp bats LOL and the highlighting on the black "hills". Cute spooky factor number one! The pretty skyline in both cards is just lovely! Great way of making your silhouettes stand out. LOVING both of these! huggers, de
Both of these are so fun. I love those bats smiles. Haven't tried a slim line card yet. Loving the cloudy skies.
What great cards and slim line as well! I guess that's all the rage these days. I really like the cloud stencil you used again and great colors. The bats are to die for along with the cat!! Your other card is just perfect with the little ghosts flying around the haunted house! Reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons - Casper the Friendly Ghost!!
Awesome Halloween cards! Spooky!!
Cute. I LOVE those cloudy skies. Very nice. Have a great day
Great Halloween cards, Leslie! Love those grinning bats and the witchy cat on the first card! the spooky skyline and ghosts make a fun scary card! Love that Halloween die cut too!
I am just loving your gorgeous skies you are making with your color combos and that stencil, neat touch with the white ink on the hills, love how the cat is all dressed up and those bats just makes you smile :)
Cool silhouette die on the background on the 2nd card and love the little ghost with your sentiment!
what a fun card Leslie, your purple sky is perfect for this cute Halloween card and love the effect of swiping white on the hills. I can just imagine the moon shining off them and your cat is adorable :)
I can see why you love making Halloween cards, Leslie! You are an expert at it!! Your pink and yellow skies are incredible and go so well with the black! That cat is the best in traditional H colors and your traditional house on a hill scary scary night is everything a H card should be! (Can you tell I woke up lazy this morning and can't even bother typing out Halloween? So bad!) I hope you are keeping well! Hugs, Darnell
Fabulous, Leslie! I always, always love looking at your blog every day. I'm just a bit behind lately. Like you said, life is still busy!
Both great Halloween cards love the designs and the smiley bats on the slimline card

Oh my goodness, I love both of these. Your slim line is amazing with those clouds and the way your created your rolling hills, and those smiley bats - they are awesome, and of course your Plum Purdy cat! (I wish Plum Purdy still made stamps). And your second card, those beautiful puffy colourful clouds with the black skyline - wow! Gorgeous cards Leslie. I very seldom do Halloween cards. I only mail a couple and I still have some from last year. But I am always in awe of the ones you make! Thanks for sharing these.
Oh they're fantastic!! The little details like the white swiping just makes everything so special and of course I love that cat Leslie! The clouds on both cards are amazing!
Outstanding! Enough said! Thanks so much for sharing your imaginative and beautifully executed project with us at Shopping Our Stash!
