I placed my cardstock into the embossing folder, closed it and then placed the diffuser on top. I ran it through my cuttlebug, and after it was embossed, I placed the diffuser over the embossed piece and ran a stylus around the oval opening, to help set it off a bit from the other embossed areas.
I used Wink of Stella pens (not brush markers) to color in some of the slanted rectangles; I wanted them to appear a bit like confetti raining down ( I might have gone a bit overboard). I stamped the big greeting with the Golden Glitz ink, this stamp is form SSS's Happy Every Day set. Every time I see it used I think why don't I have that set. I bought it recently, and this is my first inking. I was please to see it fit perfectly into the oval space the diffuser created.
Below is a close up, odd the colored bits are the debossed parts, funny how in the photo it looks just the opposite.

Great job! I had the same thought process as you...to use a stylus to better define my circle after using a TH diffuser. Didn't work out so well. I'm super-impressed with yours though!
Wow--that is quite an optical illusion. Really fun card with the look of confetti!
Such a happy card...very festive! Love the large sentiments!!
Such a cool take on this technique, Cat! Great optical illusion with your Wink of Stella pens and I love how your sparkly sentiment pops on your oval focal point!
