                  Color Blocking for TGIF Color Challenge - #TGIFC498

                  Hey Crafty Friends!! Today my inspiration for this card is color, specifically Berry Burst, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy.  This color challenge is hosted on the TGIF Challenge Blog (#TGIFC489) and Facebook page.  It has been a minute since I did some color blocking on my cards.  This card was lots of fun to create and it is one of my favorite this year.  Hoep you find some inspiration here.

                  • Stamps

                    • Basic White inked & stamped layer - 5" x 2 1/2", scrap for sentiment
