Good Morning!

I love color, but every once in awhile I create an all neutral card.

Maybe because of all of those colorful projects from yesterday my eyes needed a calm place to rest.

I used to use color, but mostly monochromatic.

I really credit the ColourQ, both as a participant and a designer, for opening me up to more complex color combinations.  I think that's when I really started experimenting and coming up with some on my own.  It's a great challenge; I encourage you to play along if you haven't already!

 

 

For this week's Make It Monday, I layered the wood grain and leaf images to create a 'double background'.  The kraft ink can be a bit dark so I decided to stamp-off the wood grain once and stamp-off the leaf images twice before stamping.

Good to see you again.

What's your favorite way to use color on your projects

......neutral, monochromatic, every color in the rainbow?
