Oh well, it is fun trying something new, even if it doesn't turn out as great as you hoped! If you didn't watch the tutorial, I will explain how I made it. I stamped onto a transparency, fussy-cut just the cat, inked up the back with purple, smooshed it onto the patterned paper, and then adhered. I added a several ink splatters as well as blobs of yellow. To provide more of a fall feel, I added a number of leaves. I also distressed all around the card as I'm new to distressing and wanted to play a bit.
I made this card for the Fall Colors challenge over at Magenta. The cat is one of their out-of-print "Cat of the Month" stamps (February 2010, Neko) and I fussy-cut just the cat. The dies (leaves and word) are from Impression Obsession. Patterned paper is Momenta and Creative Memories.
