Color Combos

 Do you ever get bogged down using the same colors over and over? I love blues and greens, so I tend to turn that direction. To get myself out of that rut, I have started looking for different color combos to try out. A challenge called Color Fusers has helped me with this. So today I’m going to show some different color combos and demonstrate using one.

 Here's a list of some of the color combos that I have gathered...most of them from the Color Fusers  Challenge.

BERRY BURST   LOST LAGOON   BLACKBERRY BLISS

AZURE AFTERNOON   DAFFODIL DELIGHT   PUMPKIN PIE

 PETUNIA POP   SUMMER SPLASH   PEACH PIE

BUBBLE BATH   COASTAL CABANA   SOFT SEA FOAM

POOL PARTY   ORCHID OASIS   FRESH FRESIA

GARDEN GREEN   REAL RED   CHERRY COBBLER

BUBBLE BATH   PRETTY PEACOCK   POOL PARTY

PUMPKIN PIE   POPPY PARADE   SHADED SPRUCE

My YouTube video features the cards below made using some of these combos. The Easter Greetings butterfly card is demonstrated on the video

 

This first card uses Berry Burst, Lost Lagoon, and Blackberry Bliss. I used ink and blender brushes and Sketched Butterflies cut from Basic White. The Basic White cardbase is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The Berry Burst mat is 4" x 5 1/4" and the Basic White cardfront is 5" x 3 3/4". I heat embossed the sentiment from Storybook Friends in black. There are 3 Basic Rhinestone gems to finish the card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This second card uses the combo  Azure Afternoon, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. The cardbase is a Z-fold in Azure Afternoon. See this older video demonstrating how to do the Z fold. I used the Terrific Toadstools bundle to create the focal image and added clouds from Under the Moon stamped in Basic Beige. The birds are from Scenic Pumpkins. The DSP is from To Market and the ribbon is Daffodil
Delight. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The next card features Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Peach Pie...all current In Colors. I used the smallest Stylish Shapes square die to cut the cardstock pieces. The stems and leaves use Autumn Leaves dies and Summer Splash cardstock. The sentiment is stamped on white, bannered and matted on Summer Splash cardstock.

 

 

 

 

The last sample I did features Bubble Bath, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock. I used the new Mixed Florals stampset and a background stamp from Spotlight on Nature. The black mat and the Basic White cardfront are cut with 2 of the Deckled Triangles.

 

I hope that you will give some different color combos a try. I'd love to know what combos that you have used. You can put that in the comments below! Thank you for visiting my blog.
