Today I have a fun little birthday card made with snippets of polka dot and striped designer papers. I just glued all the strips down in a diagonal pattern and placed the panel on a yellow card base. I've had this Stampendous stamped image forever. (thanks to Wendy and Di for letting me know the manufacturer). I colored it with Copics and glaze pens; then die cut both the image panel and the red mat with stitched square dies. The red sentiment panel was done with a MFT stitched die, and the word "Celebrate" was cut with a Lil Inker die from navy cardstock 3 times, stacked and covered with glossy accents.

Terrific card Carol. I LOVE the snippets - so colourful and happy. Then, the image cracked me up! It's certainly a Stampendous stamp as already suggested - called 'Full Fluffles'. And he does to ready to burst! Great colouring to pick up the background too.
