Unsupervised - A Dunce Hat Cat Card

Here's my card for April's Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's Challenge 196 "Where's Your Hat?" which was created with the Fluffy Cat Rubber Stamp from the Party Cat Rubber Stamp Set by Lost Coast Designs. 

Here's the card!

As you might know, I have a pair of mischievious white cats, Domino and the aptly named Harley Quinn. They're littermates, who don't really get along, but occasionally conspire to create enough chaos that I really would like to put dunce caps on them, but I like my hands attached to my arms.

Instructions:

1. Create an A6 card from heavy white cardstock. Set aside.
2. Use Obsidian Black Amalgam Ink to stamp the Fluffy Cat twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 
3. Heat set the image panel.
4. Use Copic markers to color the Fluffy Cat on the image panel to make him look like Domino. 
5. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the  Fluffy Cat's eyes.
6. Fussy-cut the repositionable sticker paper version of the Fluffy Cat and place him over his counterpart on the image panel.
7. Give them a ride through my Big Shot inside of a rectangle cutting die to be die-cut.
8. Keep them inside the cutting die by securing the die to the back of the panel with low-tack tape. 
9. Place a piece of Removable Scotch Tape horizontally over the bottom part of the die where the Fluffy Cat is sitting.
10. Brush Whipped Honey Dye Ink over the die onto the top part of the image panel die-cut with the masked images.
11. Move the Scotch Tape so it sits on the bottom of the yellow area.
12. Brush Pebble Dye Ink over the die onto the masked image panel. 
13. Use a small brush to brush Twilight Dye ink under the  Fluffy Cat's paws to create a shadow.
14. Remove the horizontal repositionable tape. 
15. Remove the low-tack tape from the back of the die.
16. Remove the image panel die-cut from the cutting die to reveal a nice white border around the inked image panel. 
17. Set the image panel aside.
18. Cut the triangle patterned paper from the Smitten Kitten 6x6 pad to 4.25" wide.
19. Cut the pawprint patterned paper from the Smitten Kitten 6x6 pad to 3.25" wide.
20. Cut the pink cat-head patterned paper from the Chloe 6x6 pad to 3" wide.
21. Edge all three patterned papers with Pebble Dye Ink.
22. Layer the patterned papers as shown and adhere to the reserved white A6 card.
23. Adhere the image panel die-cut as shown.
24. Adhere the "I was left unsupervised" sentiment sticker from Snarky Small Talk idea-ology as shown to complete the card.
