Fiesta Feline Fun

This card is all about creating a vibrant and playful celebration vibe. I started with the spray ink background, using a stencil to add instant pattern and texture. The combination of orange and green gives the card a festive feel, perfect for birthdays or celebrations. The adorable Fiesta Feline Pissy Kitty stamp from Unity Stamp Company steals the show. Seriously, how cute is she with her sombrero and margarita? I colored her with Copic markers, adding a little sparkle with a glitter pen for extra fun. I love how quickly the background came together and how much joy this happy kitty brings to the card! Well, I guess it really is the margarita bringing the joy!

What Makes This Card Special:

• Touch of sparkle: Subtle glitter pen accents add a finishing shine to the kitty’s hat & drink.
• Quick spray ink background: The stenciled design comes to life in minutes using spray inks.
• Adorable central image: The Fiesta Feline stamp adds charm personality and pure joy.
• Simple color palette: Green and orange create a high-impact, festive vibe.
• Perfect sentiment: The “Fiesta Mode: ON!” message works for birthdays, parties, or special events.

Creative Tips & Techniques:

• Stencil Technique: If you don’t have spray ink, try ink blending or stencil paste to achieve a similar effect.
• Reuse your stencil ink: After spraying, turn the stencil over and press onto a second panel of watercolor paper to create another background.
• Flexible Colors: Don’t be afraid to mix things up—try using different colors like pink, purple, and blue!
• Copic Colors: The image was colored using Copic markers.
  • Hat & Margarita: Y18, Y38; YG03, YG17; E31, E33
  • Kitty: W1, W3, W4; R20

I hope this playful card brings a smile and inspires you to try out stenciling with spray inks! It’s such a quick way to create festive backgrounds and makes cards like this a breeze to craft. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a milestone, or just life’s little moments, this design is sure to spread some joy.
