Colour Blocking with CAS-ual Friday and the Play Date Cafe {Happy Birthday}

Are you sick of me yet? Four posts on one day?!! I am not meaning to post so much but I am in a card making mood and don't want to miss challenge deadlines! I have done that before!



I was intrigued by the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays this week. The theme is Color Blocking and when I saw the colors at the Play Date Cafe, I knew I had to play along.


I am not sure if I achieved the Colour Blocked look? I stamped a set from Close to My Heart called Love Blooms. I loved the flowers and the leaves in this set!! I inked up each image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured the images with my Copic Markers. I was thinking how nice this might look stamped in dark gray on vanilla paper and then coloured with soft and subtle pinks and creams...hmmm...might have a go at that!!


Supplies Used:
Stamps: Close to My Heart-Love Blooms and Stampin' Up-Perfectly Penned
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Copics
Papers: Flourishes White CS, Black CS and Tempting Turquoise CS
