We are not even making the challenge that tricky... you can choose to make a Halloween card, a Breast Cancer Awareness card... or go ahead, combine the two in a pink Halloween card. Which at first seemed a little difficult, but then turned out to be a lot of fun:
This also happens to be bargain crafting at its finest, with the stamps from Michaels cheap bin and the cat sticker from an after-Halloween clearance. It must be the spirit of Halloween... I even distressed the edges of the patterned paper! I wanted a less-blended look to the ink distressing (opposite of the usual goal, I know), so I used a stippling brush to give a rougher look to the ink. Almost like that cat's tail brushed across the ink pad. :)
I was so happy with the outside, I carried the design through to the inside:
The bats are yet another Michaels stamp! And I do believe the sentiment was on sale. :D

Hello Sister Lindsey! Fantastic pink Halloween card! I love your little 3d kitty cat and his road of spider webs! Just love it!
Your co-sister, Pamellia :)
Ohhhhhhh look at you go getting all distressy!!! LOVE IT!!!
That card IS crafty goodness at it's best!! It's pink, Halloweeny and distressed...my three favourite things all in one!
Looks like you are three for three in Donna's books, Mine too, my fav. after purple is pink and a real love for black cats, awesome job on the Pink Halloween
Look at you, getting your distress on! LOL! I love the simplicity of your card, and score on the bargain finds!
Not that we've ever had a cat get ink on herself and ended up with some spontaneous embellishment, right? I just LOVE the spiky tail, and the stippled ink is the perfect rough touch!
I love the kitty on the spider webs, and those bats on the inside with their big round eye as well. Great budget card!
Love the sentiment with the look on the cat's face...or maybe it's the arched back. Have you found a new technique that we might see more of?
Cool card! I love how you have the cat walking on the spiderweb border! The way you distressed the patterned paper gives your card a great grungy look, perfect for Halloween!
Awesome pink halloween card. Looks like my old cat.
That cat's puffed up tail is awesome! Totally cracked me up!
