New Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge - Spooky or Use Orange

There's a new challenge today on the Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge Blog and this time we're asking you to make something spooky or to use orange.

I've gone for the option of using orange on my card as I don't make many spooky cards!

For more details about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, have a look here on the challenge blog. 

I started my card by applying Distress Ink onto my base card using an aperture cut into another piece of card with a rectangular die.  I cut a small circle from a sticky note to mask off the sun (top right behind the buildings).

I then stamped elements from the All That Jazz stamp set made by Hunkydory For the Love of Stamps and added some gems and a black paper layer to finish the card.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Dream Valley Challenges - clean and simple

Seize the Birthday - anything goes

Dragonfly Dreams - use black

The Male Room Challenge - stay CAS
