I have seen lots of cards out there which use a technique called "colour blocking" and have been wanting to try it for a while. I finally had some inspiration and although the end result was different to the cards I had commonly seen (where they have put images inside the blocks rather than what I did which was to place the sentiment over multiple blocks) I think it turned out really well. Don't you? I'm going to try some other types of colour blocking soon because I just love the crisp clean lines and the no-fuss look of the card.
Fiona's notes:
- The trickiest thing about this card is getting the blocks the right size. Unfortunately I have no tips, I just winged it! I'd love to hear some easier ways to be able to get it right quickly and easily.
- I picked the colours from the It's My Party DSP because it's one of my favourite colour combinations. I just LOVE how they look together.
- For that extra "oumph" I embossed the sentiment.
