The CAS-ual Fridays Challenge this week is to use color blocks. I had a birthday card I was waiting to make and fortunately my PTI order came in the mail yesterday! I was even more excited about receiving this order than usual. Of course, any PTI box is a treat! But this one has several sets I am so anxious to use. And in addition, my anniversary set came--so cool. After seeing so many great samples on blogs, I wanted so much to try out my own. One of the sets I ordered was Mehndi Medallion and I LOVE them! The designs are fabulous! I have only used this large one but it stamps so well. I used heliotrope ink and embossed with clear.
Color blocks are fun--first there is just playing around with colors to decide what to use. I didn't want to do something exactly symmetrical so the one accent stripe is a little shorter and I put the sentiment on the opposite corner.
This is an extra busy week so I may not get to try out all my new goodies. :(!! But I'll have time to visit blogs and get inspired!
Thanks so much for dropping by!
Have a great day,
Sharron

Great job! Love the medallion. Carol and I went in on an order together. We are still waiting for it here in Colorado. I am looking forward to playing with this stamp set when I get it too. thanks for the inspiration.
Such an elegant card! Gorgeous choice of colours and that Medallion is the most a-ma-zing centrepiece! Love it!

Gorgeous card! The design of your card with block of green on one side of the focal point is great. And I love the colors you've used.
This is lovely! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
Medallions are huge right now, I've been on the fence trying to decide whose I wish to buy and the price tag on PTI's is great. This is lovely, I always like a nice large block of purple!
This is gorgeous! I love the colour combo you've chosen - and the graphic feel you've given this image! So strong and bold, but still so pretty!
