Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video
If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out.
You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132. Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston. It was a surprise perk for attendees.
Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year. In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.
Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog:
My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc. Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.
My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple.
If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package.
Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.
Click on the pictures above or below to get to my new catalog shares – choose from designer papers, In Color bundles or a ribbon share. They're available through May 7th only.
My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now!See it here.
Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.
