This month's Fiskateer Color Challenge asked us to make something using complementary colors- that is, colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel, such as red/green, purple/yellow, and blue/orange.
I am really drawn to blue/orange, so that's what I used to make my card:
A quick glance through my gallery showed that I have used blue and orange together many times in the past. Here's a layout from our 2004 honeymoon:
A card from 2008:
A layout from 2008 (Made for my local scrapbook store as a "cardstock only" class sample, which is why there are no pictures or anything that isn't cardstock.)
A 2009 layout celebrating Trevor's love of reading:
Two layouts from 2010:
And three projects from 2011:
Interestingly, when I looked through my stuff for examples of other complementary color combinations, I found almost nothing. There were a few red/green Christmas layouts, but no other use of those two colors together. There was a single purple/yellow project, which was from a previous Color Challenge and not something I would have ever made on my own.
Have you made projects using complementary colors?
I loveeeeeeeee your latest card....and loving looking back at your other projects with the same color combo!! FAB!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a red/green person. My home is decorated in burgundy and dark green with golds thrown about. But I don't scrap with it unless it's Christmas stuff. I usually scrap with three colors or monotones. I keep a color wheel on my table and use it a lot to get me out of my rut. Love seeing your past work...wonderful as always.
ReplyDeleteI really like all kinds of blue and orange together ... LOVE seeing all your projects! :)
