The Library Challenge - The Cat in The Hat

 

The new challenge at The Library is The Cat in The Hat by Dr Seuss. 

The Cat in the Hat: Green Back Book (Dr. Seuss - Green Back Book),Dr. Seuss

For my sample card I stamped a cat from Katzelcraft wearing a witch's hat from a complimentary Katzelcraft set. These are unmounted rubber stamps and the number of fails I had trying to get the hat on the cat reminded me of what an innovation clear stamps are! In the end, I hand-cut the cat and hat separately and got the hat onto the cat that way! 

I made the background with Distress Inks and stamped the sentiment in the moon. 

PS - When I went to link this up at Watercooler, I noticed that their challenge last week was won by Cornelia using the same cat, wearing the same hat! Of course, the stamps are made to go together but there are six cats and five hats to choose from so was it coincidence or did I see Cornelia's wonderful card and subconsciously CASE it?! 

I'd like to enter:

I love his less than enthusiastic facial expression. The dark background adds a little spooky feel, which is perfect for Halloween.

Great card! I have subconsciously copied a lot closer than what you did here. (You probably didn't) I think this cat just begs to be used for Halloween. Love your card! Thanks for your kind comment!
