Patriotic Cool Cat

This was SUCH a fun card. I think I’ve even set a new combine-the-challenges record – EIGHT Wahoos! I’ve seen cool things done with digital images but had yet to try them. When I saw this Cool Cat image available for FREE from Hambo Stamps, I couldn’t resist. I have a thing for cats. I left the inside blank (I do this frequently) since I’m not sure who will receive the card. He’s such a cutie I may just have to pin him up by my desk for the season. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).
Sketch Inspiration Taylored Expressions Challenge #73 I flipped the sketch added the extra star element. It just didn’t flow right the other direction and the ‘blank’ space seemed to cry for a little sparkle.
My Creation
Image Detail Cool Cat Image FREE DOWNLOAD I added sparkle with Spicas and quite a bit of Diamond Glaze for a water-ey effect.
