COLOR BLOCKING 

May 21, 2019

THIS WEEK I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO FOUR TECHNIQUES OF COLOR BLOCKING

In this method you will be just sponging in certain areas of the card with certain colors. You will be coloring blocked off areas that could blend together. There is a small area of the Whisper White background that forms the division between. When you sponge don't go all the way to the next color. Leave that little bit of white space or lightly sponged area between each color. Here I used the five new 2019-20 In Colors. I love the way they coordinate beautifully together.

These cards are beautiful yet they don't take a lot of supplies. A great project for the Casual Stamper. However, embossing is what got me started. It is such a wow factor!

STAMPS:
A Little Lace #149364

PAPERS:
Whisper White—5 1/4 x 4, 5 x 3 3/4
Flirty Flamingo—8 1/2 x 5 1/2

ACCESSORIES:
White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Sponges, Heat Tool, Pearls

INKS:
2019-20 In Colors—*Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, Pretty Peacock, Terracotta Tile, Rococo Rose and Versamark

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Stamp the greeting. In order to place it near the center. I positioned the card on our grid paper. There are 20 blocks from top to bottom of the paper. Count down 12 squares and stamp there.
  • Stamp the large image, flowers, 4 times in Versa Mark on the smallest Whisper White.
  • Sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and emboss with the Heat Gun
  • Using a piece of the sponge begin sponging. Use all of the five In Colors
  • Add the pearls

* The Purple Posy Stamp Pad is having quality issues. Therefore, Stampin' Up! has pulled this pad from the market. They are hoping to have this resolved by the middle of August. They are always trying to be sure we have quality products to work with. The only reason I have this pad is because I went to OnStage and was able to order it.

If you would like to order any of the products I used to create these projects or any other. Please click on the shop link or the photos below and it will take you to my website which is open 24/7.
