Less is More Challenge N°1 Colour Wheel

Date: 05 May 2013 13:23:40

The challenge this week is to use two opposite colours from the colour wheel

This is interesting, as there are several "opposites" here that I would not put together. Some of them, yes, for example red and green - aren't they just the colours of Christmas?! I often use them together for Christmas cards. In fact they were my first choice for a card. I used a new set of stamps that I bought recently from a craftshop in Clermont : I was buying stuff to make a Wedding card that a friend commissioned, and these stamps leapt into my basket and just wouldn't get out!!!

This is the set that I bought - particularly for the lovely leafy scrolly flourish. I've used it a couple of times, but am still experimenting. I'm still a novice to stamping, and so if anyone has any tips do please let me know!

Here is the first card that I made for the LiM challenge:

As you can see I used the red-green colourway. The sentiment "Thank You a thousand times" is handwritten, and the fancy cut out is from my new border punch (I'm just about getting the hang of that too!)
