Retro Kitty Countdown 1

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing one of my retro kitty countdown cards, which is part of a set of 25 that I started last year, maybe even the year before.  My goal is to finish off the remaining nine of these countdown cards before the end of November so they can be used in December as a Countdown to Christmas.  The recipient will open one each day in December similar to an advent calendar.  This is #1 but I have not been making them in numerical order.


Products used:
Cat Clipart:  PrettiePrintables on Etsy
Patterned paper:  Me and My Big Ideas 
Dies:  Simon Says Stamp Pine Needle Border, Gina Marie Designs Studded Numbers
Other:  Tim Holtz Bow punch, Doodlebug red doily, Dollarama poinsettia doily, snowflake sequin, self-made sentiment in Microsoft Word

I would like to join the following 8 challenges:
Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards (Complementary Colours, plus C for Cat, Christmas, and Countdown)
Christmas Kickstart 68 Trees, Trees, Trees 2/3 C8 (Kitty is under the tree, plus the pine needle border)
CRAFT 657 AG 1/2
DL.ART November Linky AG UE
The 12 Months of Christmas Link-up 94 AG Christmas Optional Patterned Paper 3/10
Word Art Wednesday 569-570 AG w Uplifting Sentiment 1/5 wk1

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a joy-filled day!

    Hi dear Kitty, your retro kitty countdown card is so cute!! Love the sweetness of the doilies around the delicious white kitty! And that little bow with the snowflake is a precious detail! Beautiful paper and pine branch border too! Nine countdown cards before the end of December is a great goal, you will be very busy in the next weeks!!! :)
    Sending big hugs and positive thoughts sweetie, have a lovely weekend!

    Great idea Kitty! I'm sure the recipient will enjoy seeing a beautiful handmade card every day in the lead-up to Christmas. This one is really cute, I love the image! The doily with the poinsettias is lovely and makes a great backing for your image.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
