It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi, everyone!  I mentioned yesterday that I've become obsessed with "ugly" (cute!) sweaters, and today I'm sharing another one!  The cute kitty was already coloured and fussy-cut last year and I happily found her (and some others) in my unfinished pile!

Products used:

• Clear stamps: STAMPlorations Most Wonderful Time Typografia Christmas (sentiment), Penny Black Winter Friends (cat), Lawn Fawn Snow Day (tree border)
• Die: Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle, Lawn Fawn Snow Day (tree border)
• Patterned paper: Lawn Fawn Bokeh in the Snow
• Embossing folder: Darice Snowflake Background
• Digital image: Scrap n Stamp ugly sweater template
• Other: Snowflake punch, Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle, Glossy Accents

Starting with the background, I stamped the large sentiment in red on a white die-cut rectangle, embossed with a snowflake pattern, and layered onto red shimmer cardstock (Crafter's Companion).  I printed the sweater template twice, once on patterned paper and once on white, then fussy-cut and paper-pieced.  The stamped and die-cut tree border was also in my unfinished pile so I adhered it to the sweater and fussy-cut.  I adhered the kitty with foam tape, applied Spectrum Noir Clear Shimmer to the kitty's earmuffs and scarf, and Glossy Accents to her eyes.  I finished off the card with three punched snowflake sequins in red shimmer cardstock.  

Here's another view of the card to see the added shimmer on the kitty.

I would like to support the following challenges:
