I'm really excited that I had a chance to make a card for the weekly CAS-ual Fridays challenge on Friday! This week's challenge is to use blocks of color.
 | |
| black cardstock: Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co,, cream cardstock: Bazzill or AC sentiment: Inkadinkado Kids' Quotes heat embossed in Distress Ink black soot Cuttlebug ef; color block inks: Distress Ink tumbled glass blending into Distress Ink scattered straw blocks mounted using pop up dots |
Love the way the colors transitioned. Of course, blue was a natural choice based on the sentiment. So, I decided to go to yellow to paint in a happier color. Then I decided to pop the colors even more by placing them on black cardstock.
I am typically frustrated when my edges aren't as precise as I would like. Let's just say that my trimmer is not behaving as well as I would like. But, in this case, the unevenness of the cuts really adds to the kid-like feel of the card. :)
Hope this one will bring a smile to one of our hero's loved ones.

Love the saying.
Great choice of colors. The black surely makes it pop.
I have that Penny Black verse set and always used it inside cards. I just love your idea of splitting it up with colour blocking! Very creative!
