First Christmas card for 2020

I hope you all had a great start on the new year. Since I had lots of Christmas items on my desk and I got a magazine with a freebie set of of cute Christmas cats I thought I would get started on this year's Christmas cards - only 11 months left before they need to get posted, lol.
I was inspired by the colors at Color Throwdown and was mindful of keeping my card light weight for postage.
I embossed the background, added a die cut scene all in white, added a chipboard sentiment and colored my cat with Promarkers.


This card is for:
Color Throwdown- #574
Sweet Stampers - #38 Christmas
Allsorts - 551/2 Anything Goes

    Pia that is adorable with that sweet cat. You are starting it off right by getting going on the Christmas cards so not to crunch at the end of the year.
