Have a Cup of Cheer - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #20

This is my card for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #20 "Critters" using the BYSHC Sketch #36 which was perfect for my Cute Critter image and paper selection.  

Kitty image with hot cocoa was stamped with Memento Black ink, colored using Copic Sketch Brush pens and fussy cut.  A scalloped stitched rectangle was cut and bordered with green cardstock.  Design papers and zip strips were used for all other cuts in the the sketch and bordered with green cardstock and adhered direct to card base with the one strip of green cardstrip adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  Kitty was added with 3D thin foam tape for dimension on the stitched rectangle. A speech bubble was cut, bordered with green cardstock, sentiment stamped with black ink and adhered in upper-right hand corner.  

The balance of the Zip Strip from paperpack was adhered inside card base to the bottom and right-hand borders.
