What not to do when you are trying to do a Zindorf tutorial ...
1. Don't use cotton balls in place of sponges
2. Don't clear emboss over white paper that you don't want to stay white -- case in point, look at his ankles ...
3. Use a crackle stamp, not a crunched up piece of an LLBean catalog
4. If the tutorial uses round nesties, don't try to substitute oval just because you never bought round nesties because who would ever want a big round circle ... ME. Duhhh
However, I am thrilled with my results -- as long as you don't look at hers first!

You know what cat? I like what you've done. Your changes actually added to the card. I like the look of the magazine background instead of the crackle stamp. I like the splash of white on the ankles - it rounds out the color scheme. I love the double ovals - that looks more spooky/artsy to me then a simple single circle (so overdone in my opinion). You keep going and use what you have. That's how great art is 'discovered'!
