I love how this card turned out with all those bright and bold pattern papers layered behind that fabulous kitty. He’s rocking the red, white and blue with his sparkle shades and star-studded outfit. I used Copics to color him in and added glitter glue to the sunglasses and sparkler for a little extra pizzazz.

Copic Colors Used:

  • Fur & Nose: N1, N3, W1, R21, 0
  • Shirt: B21, B34, B39
  • Pants: R24, R29

Here’s a fun little twist—I stamped the Meowica sentiment over and over on the background paper to create my own custom look. It adds a playful texture that ties everything together and makes the card feel even more festive. This sassy guy has full party animal energy, and I’m here for it.
