Thursday November 7....Tutorial Thursday.....Friend Like You Bundle.....Color Blocking Tutorial

Hey Everyone!  

Just popping in today to share a quick and simple card made with the GORGEOUS Friend Like You Bundle- item #151084 found on page 124 of the annual catalog. 

This first card features:

•  a basic black card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 
•  strips of bright scrap paper 1x4 have then adhered to the card base.  
• The die-cut flowers are cut from black cardstock, adhered on top; making a shadow effect.  
• A quick greeting cropped with the stitched square die and a piece of bakers twine complete this quick and easy card.  

Here is a close-up of the bundle: 

Isn't it FABULOUS!  

Here is another, softer card I made with this set....which is cased directly from the catalog: 

Here are the details: 

•  the card base is soft seafoam 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 5 1/4 
• The cattail image is stamped multiple times across the top using Soft Seafoam ink 
• Flowers are die-cut from white card stock and adhered on top of the stamped flowers
• A strip of Calypso Coral DSP covers the lines underneath and adds a bright pop of color. 
• The mat layer is Soft Seafoam and the focal image is Whisper White. 
• The cattail image is stamped using the selective stamping technique- meaning each part of the stamp is selectively inked with a different color marker. 
• A quick greeting and some sparkly embellishments and a ribbon bow finish this soft pretty card.
