Retro Kitty - Glad Tidings

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing one of my retro kitty countdown cards.  I haven't added the countdown number yet as I didn't want to stray too far from the sketch that inspired me (see below).  I will add the number later.  You might remember that I shared previous countdown cards, and I explained what they are on this post.  My goal is to finish 25 of them by the end of November.  I have 9 more to go.

The retro kitty image is from my digital stash.  The dark purple paper is from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles called A Grungy Christmas, and I believe I won it at some point (thank you!).  The lighter purple paper is from Dollarama, and the tree paper was a leftover scrap.  I added a self-made sentiment (Microsoft Word) and embellished with three snowflake sequins and three punched snowflakes.

My card design was inspired by {BYSHC} Sketch 27 for October, and here's a link to the Facebook group where we link up our cards.  There are already dozens of gorgeous cards linked up!  

I was also inspired by the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
