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.

The Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack makes amazing, quick and easy cards. Just create a card layout of your choice, add complimentary Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the flower image you chose and you are well on your way to creating a beautiful card. You will need a few basics to take your card to the next level. Here I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Eyelet Embossing Folder & Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The greeting came from So Sincere.

For this one I used Summer Splash the last of the five colors in the 2024-26 In Color Collection. I used Trusty Tools Bundle and Happy Little Things to bring this color to life. This coordinates well with Pool Party, as suggested by the name, and Pretty Peacock.

This is the fourth of the five new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop. I love this color and it fits in well with our color families. Here I have added Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia to the card as accents. I did partial die cutting using the Simply Zinnia Bundle and the Stampin' Cut Machine.
