2.  Adhere yellow "Moon" circle to the front of your smaller card front, using liquid adhesive.



3.  Cut semi circle out of the black circle and save both pieces to form a cauldron.

4.  Adhere cauldron to the front of your smaller card front, using liquid adhesive.

5. Adhere cat or cats on top of your cauldron.

6.  Decorate the cauldron and sky with dew drops - I put black from the black, white and silver dew drop mix and neon orange mini dew drops on the cauldron, and yellow from the fall gem diamond dew drops diamonds in the sky for stars, I adhered them with liquid adhesive.


7.  Continue decorating until you are happy with you card.  Adhere your designed card topper to your card base using dry adhesive.
