TGIF Challenge #589 - Color Challenge

Ooooo! Nothing like a good color combo to get those ol’ creative juices flowing, right??!??

Whilst waiting for my new Stampin’ Up order to arrive, I looked through my stash and was feeling uninspired … so I used my clear blocks to create a background instead!

Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.

Using the two smallest clear stamping blocks (B & C) I created this background.  I then cut the 3.75”x5” piece of Basic White cardstock than I had stamped the blocks onto into 1.25” square. I roughed up the edges of the squares with the blade of my scissors and then stuck them back down onto the card base.

You know me and a little bit of splatter, right?? Using my Basic Black Stampin’ Blend I just let loose and splattered the whole card front!

I colored the little cake and tied both the cake stand and the card front up with some Basic Black Baker’s twine.

I couldn’t resist using some retired embellishments because they were just the perfect thing - and I just found them stashed behind something else (not like I had spent TONS of time looking for them several months back, to no avail!)
