What's up Pussy Cat?

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls
and Chris has chosen this photo for Inspiration.
Now when I first saw this I was horrified.
What can I make with this? I love the photo
and that BLACK CAT - just didn't have anything suitable
so I went to trusty Google and found an image.

Yikes I had to try and colour
that pumpkin! Well I did manage to
colour it of sorts using water colour pencils
blending and a few distress pens.
I even went over it with Wink of Stella.
The black cat has been covered with Glossy Accents.
The background DP is from K & Company.
Added some burlap (hessian to me) from the cheap shop.
Button from my stash and tied with a bit of the burlap
that fell off the side.
The sentiment is computer generated.
Don't know if it is the right one but as I am
not into Halloween I took a gamble.
This certainly was challenging (and that is what they are all about)
to start with but after I got going
I am happy how my card turned out.
***
Now I know my Team Mates will have some
awesome creations -  so too our October Guest - Jaydee.
Pop over and check them out -
'tis the season for all things pumpkin related
so there is no excuse for not joining us this week.
You could be our Chic of the Week and in the
running for Guest Designer in December.

I am entering this card over at The House for their
Inspiration Challenge - Details Here
