Get Funky & Basic Grey Challenges

My old mates on the Funky Hand DT have done themselves proud with their cards for the Hallow E'en themed Get Funky challenge this month, set by Allison. I am not a fan of Hallow E'en, but can still appreciate the DT's talent! lol.. and I wanted to play along, but how? Hmmm. Well, I just went for dark colours, and I found a cat stamp I have, which I thought fitted the bill purrfectly! ;o) Pity you can't see him sparkling, though. I sprinkled Glamour Dust into the embossing powder while it was still hot, and he is lying by my keyboard, merrily twinkling at me as I type, but my camera didn't pick up the glimmer. Poo.

The Funky Hand paper I have used is from the Rock Star collection on the 'Now That's Funky' CD-Rom. I tell you, these CDs are packed full of great choices! Anice is a great designer.

Anyway, I hope this is acceptable, Allison! :o)

For the layout, I used Martine's brilliant sketch from the current Basic Grey Challenge, Week 5.

The qualifying Basic Grey item is a piece of beautiful bright orange DP from the Ambrosia collection (the 6x6 pad).

The flourish was cut using a Sizzix border die, the metal word embellishment is by Making Memories, and I'll have to tell you who made the cat stamp when I come back in the morning. My eyes are clozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
EDIT: Had forgotten to put on the two little tags either side, top & bottom, so had to re-photograph this morning, and forgot to re-do the perspective view at the top of the post!!
