Digital Scrapbooking Blog and Scrapbook Inspiration From DesignerDigitals

August 04, 2008

Not a dull one in the bunch!

This week over on the IdeaBooks4u Blog we’re playing with complementary colors and using a tip from Kari Hansen, author of “The Scrapbook Designer’s Workbook.”  Complementary colors, such as blue and orange or purple and yellow, reside directly across from each other on the wheel:

Hansen says, “Choose one color to be dominant.  Because of the high contrast, it can confuse the eye if the two complementary colors are shown in equal measure.”

Here’s a page created by design team member, Jess Hunt:

I love this page!  Jess started with the complementary colors in his shirt and created a fantastic page with an adorable theme. 

Come on over to the blog and check out the challenge and our examples.  Then I hope you’ll be inspired to create your own page using a complementary color scheme.  Post it in The IdeaBooks4u Inspiration gallery at DD. 

Have a great week!
