Colour Wheel

Pick your colours with confidence...

 A good combination is using two colours opposite each other on the colour wheel, three colours equally spaced around the colour wheel, or two pairs of colours (a total of four) opposite each other.

also: Primary colours (red, blue, and yellow) make a bold statement in any decor. Secondary colours (green, orange, and purple) can be engaging, but they sometimes need to be shaded to work together. Tertiary colours (blue-green, yellow-green, red-orange) can combine for a very sophisticated look.

A monochromatic -- or one-colour -- scheme can be interesting if you use several shades of the same colour.

Colours that sit side by side on the wheel can be harmonious when used together. An example of this is red-orange and orange.

Combining a primary colour (red) with a secondary colour (purple), can create an unexpectedly exciting match.

 

I started out with just one stamp, And when I bought some more
I decided that a shoe box Would make an ideal place to store.
Then as I added inks and pens My stamp collection grew
So I bought a roomy plastic crate, It would last for years, I knew.
Embossing then became my thing With powders and a heat gun,
Metallics, tinsels, pearls and clear, I soon had every one.
By now my lovely plastic crate Was spilling everywhere
And my glitter glue collection Lay scattered on a chair.
My Husband started muttering And said things had to stop,
So I bought a huge old wardrobe At the local charity shop.
But after a while I couldn't shut the door
And I put shelves in the spare room To accommodate yet more.
Our house is now for sale, Something larger being sought,
By the way, did I show you The latest stamp I bought........
