Awesome Carved & Candlelit/Cool Cat card by Kim Van De Riet, but I don't have that set, so... my imagination slowly started grinding out something to do with the cat and the stamps I already had.. voila! (I'm still working on my brayer technique.)

I absolutely love your card and your color choices are great. I will just comment on your reference "if you can brayer better than me". There is nothing at all wrong with your technique - I could never get brayering to look that good on "regular" paper. If you want it to blend better, you have to do it on glossy card stock. Matte or smooth paper soaks up the ink and dries almost instantly. Glossy paper takes just long enough to dry that the inks have time to blend. But please don't take that as a criticism - your card really is great just as it is!
