Funky Friday Ugly Cat Challenge

Ok, I'm sure some of you won't think of this as an ugly cat, but personally, I think it is pretty ugly. This picture was the inspiration for our color challenge this week. I think the Cat has Pink Passion, Kraft, and Very Vanilla, so that is what I based my card on.
I was lucky enough to be inspired by Ilina Crouse and her All a Flutter card here. Unfortunately using the Presto Paper wasn't an option since they don't have it in the UK as of yet. So, I decided to make my own background paper. It was really easy. I just used Versamark and the Baroque Wheel to make the design on my Very Vanilla Cardstock. I then embossed it with clear embossing powder and once it was cool, sponged Pink Passion ink over the top. Rub off the excess with a tissue and Voila! Your very own Presto Paper. I have to admit, I am pretty darn proud of myself for this one! From Ugly Cat to Beautiful Butterfly.....what more could you ask for!
