good morning! today marks the beginning of my new monthly guest post on the papertrey ink blog as color ambassador! whether I'm stamping solid designs or adding color to line images, i love color. ink pads, markers, paints, pencils - you name it, i probably have it. and if i don't, i'm likely to have it in two days, prime willing. from techniques and inspiration to coloring mediums, i look forward to sharing all kinds of color topics with you on the seventh of every month.
today, i'm continuing the color wheel conversation i started in my make it monday video this week, sharing ideas on how i use the color wheel when creating any colorful card.
using the same spectrum from my color wheel card as a starting point, i made color swaps where it made sense, added in extra shades of my focal color, and took away one color completely.
The end result is a card that both flows nicely and has points of interest that stand out.
looking back at the other two cards i've made recently with the same basic color spectrum, you can see that each has its own feel based on the balance and weight of the colors used, while still having a cohesive look.
head over to the papertrey ink blog to read the full post and tell me what you think. and please let me know if you have any color topic requests - i want to write what you want to read! until next time...
happy coloring!
:) lexi
stamp it!
