Default Looking for colorblocking cards using clear blocks

Hey stampers,

I've seen many cards using the clear blocks to add color to the card front then using a silhouette image on top~ of course now that I want to use the idea I can't find any. I'd love a challenge using it so I could see several samples at once. Thanks for helping.

Also check out this week's CAS challenge, I've seen quite a few with acrylic block backgrounds.

Hi Lori! Couple of samples for you - the first one actually used a Distress ink pad direct to the card rather than an acrylic block but the principle's exactly the same. On the other one, I used a small block with three different inks then stamped the images with Versafine and "painted" them with bleach to remove the colour in those areas.

HTH!
