When we choose our embellishments & accents for our pages
or projects we can make better choices by considering the impact
of their color on our overall page design.
Not only do the red polka dots tie in with her dress but they
set a playful tone along with the polka dot & happy sky
washi tapes. The sky washi was actually a bit of camouflage
for a mustache image that was showing through!
The accent colors were chosen to give a masculine vibe
to this otherwise neutral layout. Although there is a girl
in the photo, the story is told from a boy's perspective.
Color can support a theme, as in a Christmas page.
Sometimes you just need a tiny hit of color
to add some extra visual interest.
Icy, no? It only took that smattering of blue.
Even when your page is already colorful you
can add your visual triangle with an accent color...
...or highlight your photo.
I promised you at the beginning of this post a sur-PRIZE opportunity!

Fabulous! It's easy to see in each LO what colour impact an embellie or two can make!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post! You girls have really rocked out these NSD challenges and inspiration!!
Interesting post - more great examples of how important and influential colour can be in a page
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed revisiting some of your layouts, (and some new to me ) Especially photos of grandbabies. Good examples of how colour enhances mood and/or energy of a layout.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - amazing how just a tiny pop of colour can make all the difference! :o)

The single pop of color brought the eye right to that adorable paper clip & started my eye round your page. The journaling as balloon strings was really a genius touch.
DeleteGreat ideas and on my growing "to do" list :O
ReplyDeleteSuper cute layouts :) Here is my entry to the challenge:

Using the orange really sparked that mainly blue photo up & made a lively page about an important "date" in your life! Cute story about him singing to you :~)

Wonderfully bold color scheme - I think the fact that a lot of it is lace really softens it up yet gives an edgy texture. A total fave!
DeleteGreat challenge, and it helped me complete a layout :)
ReplyDeleteHERE it is.
