I did some colouring with markers for the kitty. For the background, I made my own patterned paper using the ink smooshing technique and then stamped all the mittens.
Stamps: Kitten, mittens, sentiment, snowflakes (Newton's Nook Sweater Weather), smaller mittens (Newton's Nook Frozen Friends)
Ink: Background (Distress Inks Broken China, Tumbled Glass), mittens (Distress Oxide Broken China), smaller mittens (Your Next Stamp Holly Berry Red), cat (Lawn Fawn Jet Black), sentiment (Versamark)
Dies: Waltzingmouse Stamps Scalloped Stitched Rectangles, Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles, Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Oval Frames, Die-Versions Cold Weather Wee Petites (mittens)
Other: Ranger white embossing powder, DL.ART Christmas Red crinkle ribbon, Heidi Swapp glitter paper, Paper Source vellum (behind oval frame), snowflake sequins

Such an adorable winter card! Love the fun frame you used around your cute kitty! So happy you linked this up to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge over on THTSB!
What a cute card Kitty and love that you did your own background paper (one day I'll have to give that a try)...well done
This is just adorable. Like your darling image and the window you created along with your background you created. Like all the sparkles you added too. Glad you joined us at The House That Stamps Built this week!
Aww... how cute! Love the background you created and the fun winter colors!

My goodness! Your kitty looks all warm and cuddly in her pretty knitted garb! I wonder, do kitties really wear warm clothing in the northern areas where it becomes cold? Makes sense if doggies do! KT, your card design is lovely, with the contrasting black floor and white sentiment! Beautifully done! It is 76 in the shade right now, but tonight a light frost is expected - this yo-yoing is confusing the plants! Even the azaleas are trying to bloom! love, de
Super cute. Love the layout of this card. Pretty papers too.
Have a wonderful day.

So super cute. I love the kitty all dressed up in the winter clothing.
I was going to say I love the DP you chose to use with this cat with sweater, but then I saw you wrote you made ithe background yourself. Well done! Soon going to get started on some Christmas cards myself, I just needed a little break, but I love making them.
Your doing well with your holiday cards Kitty and this is so gorgeous - Michelle x
