Halloween Card...

It's almost Halloween, and as others are feverishly decorating their homes, I am making cards to send to a few friends. 
One of my Halloween cards will go to a Swap Partner, I have in a "Baker's Dozen" Swap. 
You essentially send 1 card per week for 13 weeks to the same person. 
It has been so much fun. 
Her cards have been gorgeous. 

Here is the most recent one I made, and this one will go to my Swap Partner:




This adorable card was made with the Luv Kitty digital stamp from Ike's Art. 


Rather than color in the image, I simply printed it on the Pewter cardstock I chose.




The cardstock and patterned paper layers are all from Close to my Heart. 
The patterned paper is from an older Fundamentals Paper Packet.
For the "Boo!" sentiment, and the small black dots, I used the "Hello Pumpkin" Complements pack from Close to my Heart.

I  entered this card into the following challenges:

Fall Splendor Card


Today's card was inspired by the Black, Orange and Purple Challenge over at Pile It On! Challenge Blog!

 I kept the layout of the card simple, yet cute and fun. 

While these three colors can certainly be used for Halloween, I went with a fall sentiment instead, for a different spin. 




I used the Hello Pumpkin Paper Packet, for the Pumpkin Cut apart. 

I layered it on a piece of Thistle Cardstock, then layered that on Black Cardstock, then layered that on a piece of Tangerine Cardstock.  

There is a piece of Thistle Cardstock behind that. 
I mounted them all on a Black Card base. 



The inside of the card is a layer of Tangerine Cardstock with a half circle cut from an older Fundamentals Paper Packet.




I finished the card off with three small Silver Glitter Gems as embellishments.
