Just Us Girls #366

The days are going by quickly and the end of October will soon be here.  It's no wonder that Chris picked this photo for the challenge at Just Us Girls this week.
Two weeks ago I was stumped about the pineapple challenge but managed to find a little one in a stamp set.  This time I was stumped by the black cat because I definitely do not have any cat stamps.  Cricut to the rescue.
I think I went back to my card making roots on this one.  Cricut cuts, lots of inking around the edges, layers, colored paper.  The cat is the only Cricut cut and since he was so flimsy (just look at those skinny legs) I decided to inlay the pumpkins so he could be glued down directly to the panel for stability. The pumpkins are die cuts from SSS,  the faces and web are from Winnie & Walter and the sentiment from MFT.  The cat had holes for eyes so I added some gold Enamel Accents and when it was dry I used a glaze pen for the pupils.  Scary enough for you? ;)

Jaydee and the rest of the design team have some terrific cards for you to see and be inspired by.  If you enter a card you may be chosen Chic of the Week and be eligible for a guest designer spot in December.

Oh, I just adore that cat. I must see if I have one like it for my Cricut. The eyes are amazing, perfect for the challenge. Oh, and I love the background paper too. Well done!

One of my cats is black and I'm sure I've seen her look like this when she gets scared lol. Lots of fun Bobby!

What a way out cat you cut here. Such character and those pumpkins look like they are laughing at him. Fabulous background too Bobby.

Bobby, your cat cuddling up to the pumpkin made me laugh - it is just perfect - especially with that sentiment. The cobweb in the corner is the perfect finishing touch. Fabulous card. Thanks for having me along as GD this month
