Take Flight

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Stamp It/STAMPtember Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: TAKE FLIGHT

Mischievous Kitty is out in the pumpkin patch basking in the light of the full moon. Suddenly she sees a flock..swarm...oh, yes! Colony! of bats fly across the Moon. It's going to be a wild night in the pumpkin patch tonight! 

I wanted to create a layered background, so I began with Simon's Old Letter stamp. 

 Next up, some lovely ink smooshing...

And then, it's just a matter of adding the selection of die cuts in the perfect spot. 

The bats are taking flight! 

Mischievous Kitty is watching from her pumpkin perch. 

 I thought I was done, then remembered STAMPtember and decided I needed to do a bit more stamping.

I added a bit of shadow under the pumpkin, and some stitches. 

 Take Flight!

I hope you have enjoyed my inspiration this week and are ready to create and share yours!
