Color Blocking with Dandy Garden

Happy happy Saturday! Today's post is part of the DOstamperStars Color Block blog hop. Color blocking is where you stamp your image or images on multiple coordinating pieces of cardstock in the same location, then use your trimmer or dies to create "blocks" of color and design that you can mix and match to create a series of cards.

I used the Dragonfly Wishes stamp set from the Dandy Garden Suite and heat embossed with white embossing powder on neutral colors of cardstock to achieve this look. I was able to repeat the stamping pattern using the stamparatus tool and die cut with the stitched rectangles. To finish it off, I punched a few dragonflies in Basic White and added them to the card.

Because the card front was going to be very busy with the stamping and blocking, I wanted to keep my color palette very neutral and went with coordinating natural colors from the suite.
