I'm trying Colour Blocking again

Colour blocking was one of the cool techniques I learnt recently at Online Card Classes Spring Camp 2022.

I thought it was a really effective use of colour and would be a perfect technique for Just Add Ink's colour challenge this week. They're really dreamy colours and a great colour combo to tuck away for future use. 

I've seen some  YouTubers making colour swatches of colour combos they like which is a great idea and I'm going to start my own swatch tag using this colour combo!

Now the tricky thing with this technique is being able to read your ruler right I thought to start off with 1/16" was 1/8" but my partner Pete helped me get it sorted out!!

When I did my class we were given a template to follow which was for the front of the card but I like drawing on the back of my cardstock so I don't have to rub out the pencil marks so have drawn it up for what you draw on the reverse of your card front.

Colour Blocking

What a simple but effective technique I learnt at Spring Camp with Online Card Classes, day 6's tutor was Keisha Charles from The Paper Mint and she showed us 3 amazing techniques with colour and cover dies.

She also only used white card stock and used blending brushes to colour up the white card stock which was highly effective. I went with the cleaner way and used coloured card stock and followed the pattern we were given to mark and cut out the 3 panels. I can see I am a wee bit out with one of my measurements as the gaps should all be 1/4" but still highly effective and I still have the pieces to make 2 more cards so really quick and easy to make 3 cards.

Now I only have one cover die so I could only try one of the techniques but in time I hope to try the other 2 examples as they really packed a big WOW. No stamps have been used in KReating my card today too. My card is an A2 card as is the cover die.

Supply List:

Dies: Dotted Tile debossing cover die (Altenew) and Artistic (SU! - leaves)

Paper: White (SSS), Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Coastal Cabana (SU!) and So Saffron (SU!)
Other: Rainbow Sentiments (Pinkfresh Studios), adhesive strips, dimensionals, jewels (TE)
