Simon Says Stamp - Modern Medallion Color Blocked Cards

Hello Lovelies! I adore vibrant color and also using my ink cubes. They are affordable, compact and versatile and work perfectly for today's color-blocking technique.

Something about the Modern Medallion stamp from the Sunny Vibes release just makes me happy! When a stamp is not comprised of fine lines and has a lot of even surface area to hold ink, it makes it easy to get bold, crisp patterns and in this case, allows me to play with color combos and do a little color-blocking. Today, I'm also getting a whole lot of help with color choices using Sarah Renee Clark's Color Cubes!

COLOR PALETTE

I stated by picking a few combos from one of the cubes that appealed to me. I then used my handmade swatches to select a few similar Pawsitively Saturated Ink colors inspired by the combos until I had 6 colors for each card:

If you have these inks, then you can follow along color for color, if you have other ink lines, try selecting similar colors to create your own combo.
