I got in three challenges on this card...so glad as I am a bit behind. Today's CAS challenge is Summer Gold.
I'm also honoring Kim aka Luv Flowers as Featured Stamped 259. She made her card using CAS challenge 153 which was a sketch with color blocking so I'll add it there, too. Sorry to be so late, Kim. Love your beautiful gallery.
Edit: For my color blocks, I used a Spellbinders classic scalloped nestabilite and just sponged inside.

This rocks and I'm CASEing it. Into the Favs it goes. Love it!
Now, I've always wondered how you get those perfect blocks? I'm guessing that Tim Holtz/Inkssentials distressing tool and foam? Help?! Or just finding a stamp with a block or turning one upside down that's whatever shape you want to use?
Nice comment first thing in the morning a bzillion questions over something as simple as this that this challenged person can't figure out! I guess I'll go tutorial hunting, although I'm sure it's such a no-brainer that there isn't one.
Okay, enough, you have a very beautiful card and the colors that you used for your color blocking are perfect for this wonderful CAS card.

Your color blocking came out perfect Benz. I haven't done that b/f, but am going to have to try as the effect is awesome. Love the pretty flower image you chose and the whole card looks so crisp. Way 2 go OL Benz!
