Cat Lovers Hop 2021 - Day 2 (Let it Snow)

Hello, everybody!  Welcome to Day 2 of the 7th Annual Cat Lovers Hop.  The dates for this year's hop are October 25 to 30 so you have until Saturday to join in!  Thank you, Janis, for hosting the hop again this year - I always enjoy myself!  There are so many things to see and do that I ran out of time yesterday so I'm hoping to get caught up today!  Head over for yourself and join the fun!

For Day 2 of the hop, I'm sharing another winter holiday card.  I stamped the kitties from Penny Black Winter Friends, coloured them with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop them up on foam tape.  I added some white marker doodles on their hat and earmuffs and some Glossy Accents on their eyes. 
 

I created the background with Distress Oxides (Abandoned Coral, Wilted Violet) using the watercolour ink-smooshing technique.  I like this non-traditional colour combo!  I added a Let it Snow die-cut (not sure of the brand) along with five purple snowflake sequins.  I stamped a sentiment from Uniko Simply Said Blocks Christmas, fussy cut, and adhered with foam tape.

I would also like to join the following challenges:
