Themed Colouring


As card makers we use colour to represent particular occasions, such as red and green for Christmas, pastel shades for new babies and bright hues for celebrations. In the photo below, I've coloured one image in four different ways to give you an idea of how we can use colour in a representative way. Of course it helps if the image used is generic, such as this bucket of lollipops, rather than specific to a certain occasion or event.

What do you think of when you see each of these colour combinations?

These all look so different. I don't always colour Christmas in red and green but I can see how colouring a non-specific image can be thought of as Christmas by using those colours. I like the different looks of the finished cards even though the designs are similar.

Your cards prove once again what colours can do. Same stamp, different colours and the results are totally different! Thanks for sharing Beccy!
