TLC49 - Be a Blockhead! :)
This week's TLC is Color Blocking.
This is another technique that is easier to describe after you have seen it!
Here is one by michelerey:
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
And another by kittenkisses:
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
So, basically what you do is cut out blocks of cardstock in complimentary colors and layer on black (usually). Some of the blocks contain stamping while most are plain. I know that there are templates you can buy at your local stamp/scrapbook store for this purpose, but I know you talented ladies can do this! Start with one main stamped image (not too big), cut it to size and then start cutting blocks to fit around it.
I look forward to seeing all your creations!
I am in search of suggestions for techniques for future TLCs! Please PM with suggestions and a link to the directions and/or a sample if you can. Thanks!
As always, if you have questions, please ask. If you have suggestions, please share!
When you upload, please put TLC49 in the keyword section when you upload, and then post a link to your card here in this thread.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us STAMPIN' !! __________________ Beth

THis is going to be fun. Reminds me of the Partridge Family bus. It is also a piece of art called "Broadway Boogie Woogie" (I can't remember the artist right now). I will have to give this one a try.

Great challenge, Beth! I have a small colorblocking template that I bought a year or so ago & haven't used yet. This will be a great opportunity to dig that out & give it a try.

I really like the look of color blocking. I'm going to have to play with this idea more. Great challenge Beth! __________________ Barb aka Shroom Head stalker

I'm a stalker, too. I was checking earlier, but I had to go cut card stock for my class tomorrow. I'm not done; I just needed a break. Great cards I'm seeing & a great challenge. I hope to get a chance to play later.

Fun challenge Beth! I have this one in my gallery:
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
It was done a little differently. I stamped and embossed the BG stamp on glossy. Then cut it apart and brayered different colors on each piece. This makes it easy to fit the pieces together. Of course the same idea could be done without the BG stamp. On the back of the glossy CS (piece needs to be cut smaller than the black you want to mat it on) draw a pattern for cutting lines (you can number the pieces if you think they will get out of order). Then stamp and/or brayer the pieces individually, then piece back together. __________________ Jami

I had made this one earlier. It has the different blocks, but I didn't use black, so it isn't exactly what the challenge called for. I can't wait to try one with the black later on! Thank You Beth!

This was so much fun, I used colors and stamps that I don't use very often, so it was a completely new experience for me...I loved it!
