Block Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: naturecoastcrafter

This is for CAS 187 to use color blocking. When I looked into color blocking techniques, I saw many definitions and made a card for each one. Years ago, we had a stamp cabana in Orlando and I picked up a really nice graduated block there in a thank you set. It was by Hero Arts, but I know it was retired long before I was! Anyway, I laid down three blocks of color, stamping off for the top and middle blocks to give lighter shades. I used the Endless Creations silhouette stamp and stamped several times with it to achieve this look.

Love this card! The watercolor blocks look great with the floral images. The script bkgrd at the bottom is a perfect bkgrd! Way to go! :)
