Ok, this is a really BRIGHT card! Get your sunglassesÂ….
This time to create my color blocks, I used the tri square craft die with a leftover plastic sheet from the back of stamp sets to make a stencil. (Love this technique!)
Then I blended inks through the stencil, and added Wink of Stella clear glitter to the blending. It looks nice and sparkly IRL. Then I removed the stencil and began adding the paper-pieced furry cat and box, and the glitter balloons (punched from glitter paper). Also added the punched hearts for a final detail. 2 of the balloons, the hearts (also with glitter paper) and the cat and box are all popped up for dimension.

Cutie patootie!!!! This is absolutely adorable - especially that cute kitty. How fun that you paper pieced that part, it's a nice design element. And your stenciled color blocked squares are amazing, and with a touch Wink of Stella, I can visualize how gorgeous they are IRL. Fantabulous creation, love everything about this! Popping it into my fav's to study later. TFS!
