Complimentary Colours at MMM

Hello everybody

I cannot believe a week has gone by since I last blogged.  We are into week 3 of our colour challenge at Make My Monday,  and this week we are looking at complimentary colours - in particular yellow and purple.  Yes - they really do work together, but it is essential to get the right tones.  I have used fairly rich colours, but if you pop across to the challenge you will see that these colours have been used in all manner of ways, and I particularly like the way the soft tones have been used by several of the design team.

My card colours are both from the Tim Holtz distress range and I have teamed my image has been stamped with Dusty Concord to tone.  The yellow card has been through the bug in a embossing folder - one is honeycomb, and the other is a sort of basket weave.  As everything was plain I wanted to add some texture.  The image is a Justrite stamp and matches the Nestie.  The flower was made with a Cheery Lynn die and a pearl brad was added to the middle.  Ribbon is Stampin Up.

Mynette has certainly kept us on our toes with the colour wheel challenges, and each time I have been pleasantly surprised that the colours do work.  How sceptical is that of me ....

I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

 Hugs,
