Whiskers in Wonderland - Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

Hi, everyone!  Before I get started, I would like to welcome my two newest followers - Jeanne H and Glenda Rieck - thank you so much for joining me!

I continue to be inspired by all of the adorable kitty cards over at the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge at Christmas Kickstart!  I hope you've had a chance to look at the gallery of kitties!  I think you'll be inspired too!   You will remember that this challenge has been organized to honour Janis Woolbright from Her Peaceful Garden, who hosted the annual Cat Lovers Hop and who sadly passed away in January 2023. 

Today's card was also inspired by Let's Play Tic-Tac-Toe with Gail, which is Day 8 of the challenge.  Gail has put together a fun tic-tac-toe board featuring some of Janis's cards to inspire us, and it worked because I have been inspired by Janis's cards and techniques!  Scroll down to see the game board!  This time I chose the diagonal line of  Die-cut, Tag, and Stamp.

This cute kitty is a stamp I don't own, but the stamped image was sent to me by a sweet friend (thank you so much - you know who you are!). The maker is AALL & Create, and from a Google search I found the name of the stamp is Whiskers in Wonderland, so cute! You can see I fussy-cut the stamped sentiment for my card!

I was excited to colour the image with markers and then fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape. I added a few highlights with a white paint marker.  I tore a scrap of white paper for the snowy landscape and then again to fit the tag.  The tag die-cut was longer but I trimmed it to fit my card and embossed it with a snowflakd pattern.  I added a sparkly red die-cut bow to the tag, as well as a sparkly red scalloped die-cut  scrap that I found when I was looking for the bow.  A few punched snowflakes finished it off!
