COLOR BLOCKING #3

This technique is the most unique of the whole group. Instead of taping off the sections you will cut them apart. There are a few tricks. You will draw or stamp a small image (circle) on the back to be sure that you get them back together correctly. If you are doing them all in different colors and you don't care what goes next to what then this is not necessary. If you want a certain pattern then this will help you get them back together with all the flowers in tact. Just be sure to follow my instructions carefully.

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Stamp the image in various places on the 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White with Versa Mark and emboss with Whisper White Embossing powder
• Turn the paper over and stamp or draw a circle in the center of the paper. It should be about 3/4 inch at least. This will be a guide.
• Cut it in half both horizontally and vertically. Lay this out so that you know how you stamped it
• This is where you will find the circle on the back helpful. Cut each quarter in half again this time diagonally -from the center to the outside corner of each rectangle
• Sponge each triangle with a different color
• Adhere the triangles to the other 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White
• Cut 1 7/8” circle from Whisper White using the Stitched Shapes Dies & stamp the greeting in Pretty Peacock

• Attach the greeting with a dimensional
• Wrap the ribbon around the top two layers before attaching to the card base
