I think this "cool cat" from Eureka Stamps is the funniest thing ever! I decided it was perfect for another Father's Day card. My own dad having been gone for many years, I now make them for family members who are dads. :-D This one will go to my #1 grandson.
Because it's going to be mailed, I kept it as simple as I could. I colored the image with my ProMarkers, added white gel ink as reflection on the sunglasses, and fussy cut it by hand. That was time consuming and detailed but it's a technique I love to do every now and then. I matted it with an embossed frame ("Linen" folder) of white CS which had been die cut it with a stitched die.
Both the multi-colored frame (cut with a die from a CUTplorations set) and the background paper are from a Recollections stack. I added sparkly twine, tied into a knot and with the ends feathered, as a salute to embellishment.

I can see where you got your inspiration, Connie. I mean besides the one at Addicted to Stamps and More. I love the 'cat'itude and the cool factor of the image and I'm glad you shared him with us.
Hey there, Connie. Love this cool cat. It would look great on a card with the Dog with Sunglasses stamp I have. Another item for my shopping wish list. I'm happy to put my DT hat on and thank you for playing in the June Challenge at Great Impressions Stamps. Good luck, my friend. Debi
