CAS-ual colour blocks

When I originally saw the most recent CAS-ual Fridays challenge of colour blocking I had an idea to use strips of paper to create the focal point. Then as I was cleaning up my desk, I saw these spools of ribbon lying together, and thought those might work!
 Although, as I look at my card, I don't know if this really counts as colour blocks!!  But I am going to submit it anyway. :) I think I might try this again with some brighter coloured ribbons.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day.

p.s. has anybody gotten into Game of Thrones? I am not a huge lover of the fantasy genre but I am really into this HBO series. I am told I need to watch Spartacus next!

  3. This is SO clever and fun! Love the whimsical looking sentiment you chose, too!

    I haven't watched Game of Thrones, but just spent a weekend with friends who highly recommend the series and books. I'm on the waiting list for the book at my library, so I'll let you know what I think!

  4. Wow, this card really works for me! Looks great. (What happens to the ribbons on the back of the card?)
    Game of Thrones... we don't get HBO, but I do want to see it. First I think I'll read the book. I've heard lots of good things about both.

  5. What a great way to use up extra ribbon! Too cute! I am not into the GOT but the hubby and I can't wait for the final season of Entourage to come back on HBO! Do you watch that?

  8. Kasia, this is probably one of the creative uses of colour blocking I've seen and I love it! I don't have HBO and the only Spartacus I know is the original with Kurt Douglas, which is amazing of course. :)

  9. Colour block or not it rocks! :)

    Don't have HBO so haven't seen GOT but keep hearing how great it is from people I'd never expect to watch a fantasy show!

  10. I love this! I love fantasy and sci-fi and all that stuff but I haven't watched those shows. It's rare for me to watch TV because I usually have my face shoved in a book. I do watch True Blood faithfully.

  11. Love your ribbons-as-color-blocks -- great colors, too! Also in the no-hbo boat...we watch our hbo shows way after the fact on netflix :) I'll add this to our to-try list, though!

  13. Love your block card!! The ribbons look fab together ;)
    I've made a card for this challenge but my uploads are still giving me grief so I can view and comment on blogs but can't upload anything. Grrrr - hope I can get it sorted before the challenge deadline.

  16. It's a brilliant way of color blocking and your card turned out gorgeous!

    The only Spartacus I know is that movie with Russel Crowe....And it has been fun to watch. Not because of the story but because of Russel Crowe :)
