Just Playin' Around

 Hello.  Thanks for stopping by.  I've been playing around with all sorts of things lately, but it seems it's only for design work.  The one thing I have in my life that's purely for fun (and sometimes I make it my design work) is my Card Traders group.  The challenge was to make a Halloween Z fold card. 

Challenge accepted!  I pulled out my Silhouette Cameo for some help...

I used cut files for everything except the cat and the pumpkins.  I made the base 11 x 5 1/4 gray card stock.  Then cut a piece of white card stock that measured 5 x 10 3/4 and ink blended Black Soot, Villainous Poison and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks.  I did cut a piece of masking paper with a circle die to block off some of the card stock to make a full moon. 

I cut out everything in black so it made me wonder should I really do orange pumpkins, but in my world there is a light bulb in the street lamp illuminating the pumpkins as well as the big full moon.  Besides, it's not quite full night so I figured that's why you can see the color of the pumpkins!  LOL  Just go with it.  

This also is a type of box card.  I'll be honest, it was inspired by Lori Whitlock's pop up box cards.  I put in a couple of cross bars so that I could add a sentiment that I made on the Cameo.

This is a better look at it.

I don't normally make Halloween cards - it doesn't seem a holiday for card greetings but it was the challenge and it was a lot of fun to make.  

Although, the moon isn't the focal point, I am entering this in the Just Us Girls Challenge.
