This week on this side of the "pond", the USA have been celebrating our "Independence" from YOUR side of the "pond". Lol. Good naturedly, of course. Our theme this week on the Woodware blog is "Colorblocking", which is always an effective way to highlight an image in a different way. For my Fourth of July/Independence Day card, I used three colors of
core paper, designed to be embossed and then sanded to reveal the design. The design that I chose was the
Dreamweaver Fireworks Embossing Folder, but can easily be done with the
stencil version as well. I had one large panel of each color to run through my embossing machine with the folder. Once embossed, they were sanded lightly to reveal the design, and cut into thirds to be adhered on three cards.
The sentiment uses images from a few
Stampendous Perfectly Clear sets,
including the
Vintage Alphabet set. This same design would work well
for several occasions, including Christmas, as it's a quick way to
complete three cards at once! For more color-blocking ideas, visit the
