Monochromicity!

OK, let's talk COLOR!!!  


While I'm a sucker for pretty and wild color combo's, I really particularly love the richness of a monochromatic color scheme.  And I have found that once I choose a color to go with, virtually all shades or tone of that color work together.

For example, with this blue-on-blue-on-blue card I started with the base color (SU's "Pool Party") and then just chose other blues in a similar tone or a contrasting shade.  And the fact that its an ocean theme adds a bit of meaning to the color choice - not that that's necessary.  Its so easy, sort of a fail-safe color choosing method for the "color challenged"!!!


For this next card, I went with a purple - violet color scheme.  This card also shows how a monochromatic color scheme enhances the TEXTURES on the piece.   (for more on that, see my last post)


The "texture" on this card looks so rich, yet is so easy!   All I did is adhere "embosslit" die-cut flowers all over the top portion.  Go ahead - use that trick!!!


I have to say I'm never disappointed by a monochromatic color scheme.
