Color Dare #66 - Gypsy & Buttercup

Congrats to last week's Twilight and Crystal Blue winners:

Hansi wins the Color Dare Diamond!


Michelle wins the Color Dare Emerald!


Katrina wins the Color Dare Ruby!


Julie wins the Color Dare Sapphire!


Such beautiful projects, ladies! Thanks for participating! Please grab your badges from the top tab!


This week, our colors are complementary:

Gypsy
Buttercup

 
Lesson: Complementary colors are two colors that sit across from each other on the color wheel. Here we have yellow (a primary color) and purple (a secondary color). These are usually thought of as spring colors, but it is fall. What will you come up with!?!?

 




 
 
 
 
Now it's your turn! Create a special project using the suggested colors (or similar ones if you don't have these exact ones), take a photo of it and upload it to your blog. Be sure to include a link to us in your post, and link your post up here at the bottom of this page. Read our sidebar for complete rules. Have fun!!!

Color Dare #65 - Twilight & Crystal Blue

Congrats to last week's winners:

Nancy wins the Color Dare Diamond!


Rema wins the Color Dare Emerald!


Jody wins the Color Dare Ruby!


Michelle wins the Color Dare Sapphire!


Such pretty entries this week! Be sure to grab your badge from the top tab and display it on your blog!

This week we have another monochromatic combo for you:

Twilight
Crystal Blue

Lesson: Monochromatic colors are two to four different shades of the same hue. In this case, we are working with a shade and a tint of a slightly greenish blue. Our design team is thinking snow/Christmas with this challenge. What will you think of?

Make sure you include a link to us in your post, then link your post up here at the bottom of this page. Please read the sidebar for complete rules. Most importantly, have fun!!!
