Color Blocking Inspiration Hop

#DOswts357 Color Blocking Inspiration Hop

Happy Saturday everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend. 

I am participating in a blog hop with my upline Dawn and our team. 

This time we were challenged to do color blocking.

This was out of  my comfort zone, but I am happy with the end result. 

A challenge always teaches me a lot. 

The way I made this card was to choose 5 different colors of cardstock. 

I chose Balmy Blue, So Safron, Highland Heather, and Granny Apple Green, all cut to 1 and 10/16ths inches using the Layering Squares Framelits.

I used a card base of  Soft Seafoam (which does not show up well here, but is a very soft green color) cut at 5 and 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches, scored at 4 1/4 inches. 

I placed a little repositional tape on the backs of the 4 squares pieces and lined them up as shown on the card. I used my Stamparatus (great tool for making sure your stamp is clear and positioned correctly).

I stamped the tree with the girl under it from the Summer Days stamp set.

I then removed the four squares and adhered them to the card base using Stamp and Seal tape.

I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set A Grand Kid. 

I adhered 3 Butterfly Gems around the sentiment. 

This will make a great card for my granddaughter who turns 13 in April. 

Feel free to case this card if you would like.
