Do you like to Colour Block? One of my favourite things to do is to mix and match colour combos and today I share how I made 5 different cards using just one colour combo!
Welcome back to another Gimme 5 video featuring Penny Black, if you haven’t been here before this is a video series where I create 5 Same but Different cards and you can check out my previous videos right HERE!
I am sharing a few different ways to Colour Block but all of my cards ended up quite clean and simple, allowing the colours to be the main focus.
Using coloured cardstock is one of the easiest way to block colour and on this card I added a simple die cut frame from the Love to Travel die set and a sweet bird from Peaceful Time.
I decided to use the scrap cardstock to create some blocked panels next.
This time I embossed the flowers From the Garden and added sentiment from the Huggable Stamp Set.
Next I combined my colours by blending them into a panel of colour.
I stamped the Crimson Blush rose with a sentiment from a Million Thanks.
Next I created another panel of colour but this time gave it a watercolour’y look.
I added a swan and sentiment from the Animal Wisdom Stamp Set.
My final design was the easiest to do. I swiped the ink pad to create my Colour Blocking.
and added the deer from the Animal Wisdom set this time.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

I think that and the swan were my faves, thanks so much Lisa!
Love these cards! I have soooo much cardstock that I could use to colour block, but just don’t think about this technique. Thanks for the reminder!
I have just a little bit too lol. we could probably colour block all year and maybe have a little left over lol.
I loved your tutorial video with some great ideas. I am going to try them all out tomorrow! Thanks!
Hope you have fun, thanks so much Lynn!

Hope you enjoy these techniques Vicki! Great to hear that things are finally starting to ease for you, it’s the weirdest thing (surreal really) we went out yesterday to see a band at a pub and it felt like ‘normal’, there were people everywhere…. I suppose it’s school holidays in both states and the day was beautiful… crossed fingers that is you guys soon too x
Me too! I’m not back to work yet so every day is a bit the same!
Such fun cards – they are all unique and totally cool! Your colours are gorgeous!
Thanks so much Ann, hope you are staying safe x
