The Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) team and I are hopping today — here on our blogs, and on Instagram. For this month’s challenge we are making projects using a monochrome themed color challenge where we are getting creative with the Color Buddies within our Color Family Collections. Before I go on, let me first introduce the AWOW Team–here’s who we are and where we are in the world:
Now, let’s hop right in. So, first of all…I am not using the Spotlight on Nature bundle. Ha! I changed my mind after setting this post, so forgive me. I need to pull that bundle out someday! Anyway, I had the Storybook Moments Suite on my stamping desk and grabbed it without remembering I was going to use Spotlight on Nature. Whoops!
Because Monday is St Patrick’s Day, I chose green Color Buddies on the Color Wheel: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, and Old Olive. “Color buddies” are next to each other on the Color Wheel.
Again, I’m using the three greens (all but Mossy Meadow). Let’s take a look:
Funny story — I started with the card on the left. I asked my son what kind of animal this was with the umbrella (weasel?) and he said “By the way, that card is kind of blech.” I don’t disagree. I mean, kind of creepy and blah??
So, I tried again…this time with a sheep:
This card also uses the So Swirly embossing folder and I love these bright dots. I think this one is a little better, but the sheep is still a little creepy?? Alas, these animals had the right greens and were monochromatic-looking, so I went with it.
What do you think? Yay or nay??
Either way, I highly encourage you pick some color buddies and start crafting!
