Color Blocked Treats

Hey there! Clare here today, with a fun card using some of the add-ons from this month's My Monthly Hero.

I really loved the color blocked look of one of the cards I did for the blog hop yesterday, so I decided to repeat that look, except using some different colors and the new You're Sweet As Pie and County Fair Bold Prints.

I started off by blending backgrounds onto little rectangles, using Pale Tomato, Soft Apricot, Dandelion, Cotton Candy, Tide Pool and Stone Wash.

After I pieced the backgrounds together, I heat set them and then stamped the County Fair Bold Prints in Versamark. I heat embossed with some clear Sparkle powder - I love the subtle touch of glitter this gives the card!

Then I stamped several of the images from You're Sweet As Pie in Versamark on black cardstock, heat embossed in white and then die-cut them.

I adhered them to the base, along with some sentiments also heat embossed in white on black cardstock. I finished the card off with some Sunshine and Pool pearls.

What do you think? Have you ever tried color blocking a card before? If you haven't, give it a go and let me know what you think! :)

Thanks for stopping in today and God bless!
