Create with Cheiron heading and colorful cards over white background

neat and tangled: exploding blocks

It's Day 4 of the Neat and Tangled release and today I am showcasing the new Exploding Blocks die. There are so many possibilities with this die and I had lots of fun making this card. I die cut a panel in white and several other colors and paper pieced a bunch of sections with pops of color, and added foam tape to the pieces that would be closest to the viewer. A lot of effort, but a super fun look in the end.
