This week at Less is More we have a colour challenge - to use opposites on the colour wheel. My first card uses light blue and orange - aka Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade and Faded Jeans. The Dina Wakely bird is stamped onto hammered card and I used a Clarity stencil to ground it on some honeycomb, which I suppose gives it a birds and bees theme! I inlaid the Mama Elephant diecut, which is the same ink but painted on much much more heavily. I love this colour combination!
Second card uses the classic Christmas combination of red and green. I framed the Stampin' Up sentiment with a Poppystamps diecut wreath and added tiny polka dot sequins for berries. Scored borders onto my panel and popped up for dimension.

ReplyDeleteI really love that blue and gold colour combo - must give it a go. The way you have grounded the sketchy bird is fab. Love the classic Christmas card as well....but I am going to hold off until June before thinking about them :)
