Flowers have a language and can be used to send messages conveying friendship, love and support. Altenew is known for their amazing floral images.  In this post, I use Altenew's floral stamp sets to build cards to convey messages of: steadfast friendship, true love and hope. Please continue reading to learn about the language of flowers and how I put together these cards.

Color theory in action

1/27/2019

 

Altenew Color Your Day

Today’s card was an exercise in instituting color theory. The instructor in the Altenew Color Your Day class follows a simple formula to determine amounts of different colors: 70-20-10. The colors in the formula could be complementary meaning that they are opposite on the color wheel, analogous meaning that they are next to each other on the color wheel, or part of a triad meaning that the three colors form a triangle within the color wheel. Adding a neutral somewhere within the formula helps to balance the colors. For this card I used analogous colors yellow and green which are next to each other on the color wheel and balanced them out with a soft cool grey. Please read on for how I made this card today using color theory and Altenew’s Bold Blossom stamp set.

Stamp Kits

I like ordering these because I come up with a ton of ideas of what to do with them quickly. Here are a few of my ideas using the August Kit highlighting: die inlay, stencils and watercoloring.
