This is the fourth week of our Colour Wheel challenge at Make My Monday, and this week we are looking at Analogous Colours. Analogous colours are colours that sit in a group of three right next to each other on the color wheel. We usually use these combinations when doing monochromatic artwork. This week we are focusiing on blues - turquoise, light blue, and dark blue with white or cream as your neutrals.
This is my take on it. I must admit I found this the hardest of the colour combinations so far.
I have layered up card in Navy blue, light blue and turquoise with butterflies embossed across the top layer, and a light blue sheer ribbon sound around it. I have used a Hero Arts stamps and dies, and used a lightish blue ink to stamp. The flowers have been embellished with gems and a bit of sparkle.
We have a fabulous monthly sponsor for one lucky participant~
Priyanka from My Heart Pieces is offering 3 digis of choice to the July monthly winner. The DT were very generously given 5 digis to uses for these challenges and you will see them throughout the month!
