I really had fun making this card for Pat for her 70th birthday, a request of the MMTPT bunch. Pat is my kind of gal, celebrating her big birthday and making it fun, which is what I tried to do when I turned 70 in August. She loves neon colors and....guess what, I had three Hero Arts neon colors, red, purple and an ombre green. I bought them a long time ago and NEVER USED THEM! I'm serious. A travesty! I ink blended them on the wc paper and heat embossed the stamps with clear. I love these Just Lou stamps, they remind me of Zentangle. She likes big and bold so I made the card 5.5" square. I cut the diecuts with holographic and a green mirror card with two layers of white underneath.
This is also for today's sketch, which I thought worked quite well for this funky, loud, bold card. Thanks for the challenges.

Wow! BOLD AND BRIGHT is right! It's gorgeous. Love the glitz with the holographic paper and that sketch is funky and perfect for the occasion. Fabulous card.

5.5 square - that's just a tad smaller than my standard . I think it's a nice size, but then we don't have to pay extra for square. The sentiment is wonderfully glitzy, and I really like the stamp on the green circle. Great colours, way to go on using them. Use them more before they dry out!!
