Cricut Cardz Challenge #92

Hello, and welcome to another Cricut Cardz Challenge #92.  This challenge is to use an owl from any cartridge and make a halloween card using any colors.  I have chosen the owl from the Sentimentals cartridge.  I used kraft cardstock to make a standard A2 size card, inked the edges of everything with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and dug the Perfect Pearls out of my drawer to use for the first time.  I used the stamp set "Build A Banner" from My Creative Time to create the polka dot background using the fall "Seedless Preserves" Distress Ink from Tim Holtz.  I then dusted it with the white Perfect Pearls to give it the glitter effect.  I love how it turned out, and I'm gonna have to play more with the Perfect Pearls.  I used a brand new stamp set from Peachy Keen Stamps called "Faceless Fall Fun" and tweeked the Happy Halloween to say the Happy Owloween.  I also used the Critter Faces for the eyes on the owl, and for the saying, I used the Stitched Circle and Scallop die from My Creative Time.  Head on over to http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/ to see what everyone else put together.

Head on over and link up your project to be entered to win some fun stuff.  And don't forget, when I reach 100 followers, there will be a giveaway on my blog.

Thanks for looking.  Christy

Cricut Cardz Challenge #91

Today's card will be a post for the Cricut Cardz Challenge #91 over at Cardz TV.  Mary has been gracious enough to add me to the wonderful design team over there, and after you have a look around here, hop on over to www.cardztv.blogspot.com to see what Mary and the rest of the design team have in store.
I used the Halloween paper stack from Walmart, my Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch, ribbon from Michaels, and the monster was cut from "Bump In The Night" at 3 inches. I gave it googly eyes to make it a little more scary!
