A big CONGRATS to Harriet! I always love strolling thru her fab gallery and she always has such nice things to say in her comments! I chose her Sunflower Sunset to case. I kept her color combo, image in the little box and color split bg, but I used different images, a different layout and I used DTP to make my split bg.
For my card, I used a DTP (direct to paper) technique with chalk inks on white card stock. The images were stamped on top of this background. The cat was stamped again on white and I paper pieced the cut out cat and stripes onto the white image. I also added some paper pieced eyes I colored green onto to the pink version cat. The kitty stripes, nose & ears were colored with a white gel pen.
The yarn balls were also paper pieced onto a white version of the same image. The large split bg was also done DTP and I used a large corner rounder on the corners. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! Enjoy your day, Harriet!! Close ups and a look a my workbook are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Love all the techniques you used on this card! Thanks for detailing them for us. I love that cat image with the added green eyes and what you did with the twine. Great tribute to Harriet!

OMG Julie this is one awesome card - I can't believe this card was inspired by one of mine!! The neatest thing about this card is that I am a knitter and I absolutely love cats (have 3 of them!). So this is just extra special to me! Thank you so much for taking the time to case a card from my gallery and for helping to make this such a special day!

What a fun image this is-I love the way your colored it to. It looks like something very modern that you would find in an art gallery. Simply delightful.
