Color Inspiration for August
Since we both love Fall, Amy and I have whipped up some fun Fall cards for you in this month’s Color Inspiration. Enjoy!
Go play with the colors and share your card, scrapbook page, box, decor, or whatever you are inspired to create with us all on the CraftyPerson Facebook page. It will be great to see all the different ideas that grow from a single set of colors!

COLOR THEORY
Split Complimentary: Colors that are opposite on the color wheel and create a high amount of contrast.
For example: yellow/orange & blue, purple/blue & yellow,
green/yellow & purple or blue/green & orange
The colors are just gorgeous, and I love the technique that you show with the Vintage Leaves! I’m going to try that on my next card. Thank you for all of the inspiration!
Thanks Melissa for your comment. We can’t wait to see what you create. Isn’t it interesting how different the cards are usign the same colors?
such wonderful presentation! \I love those colors, but wouldn’t think to put them together; thank you for sharing your ideas!
These are bright colors aren’t they Sue? We first thought they looked more like summer colors, but we like how they turned out on the cards. A great transition from Summer to Fall. Thank you for your comment.
