Color Blocking can be accomplished in a number of ways – I have highlighted some ways in previous posts but today I am detailing a card that gets it’s color blocking with colored cardstock and die images!
Measurements:
Base: Bermuda Bay CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Scraps for die cutting
Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake and
Coastal Cabana
Scrap strip of Basic White
Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed in Fern 3D
Cut a different sized Stitched Rectangle out of each colored cardstock. Take a scrap strip of Basic White CS and place a strip of Stampin’ Seal on the strip of CS and begin to lay down the die cut rectangles.
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer in Fern 3D embossing folder and adhere to the Bermuda Bay cardstock base.
Using the Stamparatus and the large Gingko Branch stamp, place the colored cardstock rectangles that are bound together and stamp in Versamark (this wet sticky clear ink will make a tone on tone image on each of the different colored cardstocks appearing like the image is stamped in the different matching colors of the cardstock)
Remove the stamped image from the Stamparatus and turn over and adhere Tear N Tape to the back side (because you are adhering over an embossed surface that is uneven the Tear N Tape is a great choice to secure the piece to the base!)
In Tuxedo Black Memento ink stamp the thank you from the Something Fancy stamp set on the small Bermuda Bay Stylish Shapes circle.
pop it up on Dimensionals and place on the card front.
Add Iridescent Pearls to the card and you have a lovely tone on tone color blocked image!
Try this technique and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
