Or is the cat in a jack? Or is the Jack at cat? Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you a card made using one of Impression Obsession's Gary Robertson digital stamps called Cat in the Hat Jack. I started coloring it a few days ago to try and get out of the funk I've been in even though I've been dealing with migraines. Fortunately, pain meds worked long enough to get it colored.
After printing the image at 3.5 x 5 to accommodate the migraine, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before using a blender pencil on parts of the image. Once the coloring was finished, I layered it then added some pumpkin orange brads. My card uses a dusty Cuttlebug Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder run through a Big Shot before stippling some Stampin Up pumpkin pie ink over the raised images and around the edges using my Picket Fence blending brushes. The final touches were highlighting various parts of the colored image using Sakura 3D glaze pens and adding some gold sequins I've had in my stash for years.
