A Hot Chocolate Kind of Day

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a winter holiday card!  This adorable kitty is Reece Burmese Christmas Kitty from Digi Doodle Studios.  I coloured the image with markers, die-cut with a pinpoint square (Memory Box), and inked around the edge of the image with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I also added Diamond Stickles to the fur trim of the hat.

I used patterned paper (Doodlebug Polar Pals), die-cut with a stitched rectangle (Gina Marie Designs) and pinpoint square (Memory Box Pinpoint Square Layers), as well as a ricrac die-cut (Your Next Stamp Ric Rac), and snowflake die-cut (Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes) according to the sketch below.  To finish the card, I stamped a sentiment (Newton's Nook Cup of Cocoa) and adhered a few purple gems.

Here's the sketch from The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge that inspired my card design:
