For today’s card project, I am using complementary colors to inform the design. Complementary colors are colors that sit exactly across from one another on the color wheel. They have extremely high contrast from one another and they always work as a pair. Today I’m using Lilac and Butter as the base colors for my design.

I chose to use light tones of both yellow and purple for my design, but the complementary relationship is there whether you use bold and bright versions of the colors, or soft and muted tones.

I used the Funky Hearts Stencils to featured these two colors on my card panel. Here is my video where I show it coming together.

My CZ Design I’m Sorry stamps and die were a perfect set for this simple design. I also stamped a simple greeting on the inside, as well.

Greens: G20, G21, G24

I paired these spring images with the Bitty Birdhouse die. It’s die-cut with the Tim Holtz Metallic Confections Kraft Stock from the card kit.
The background uses the Paper Rose Flower Shoppe paper from the card kit and is embossed with the Drifting Flowers Embossing Folder. I finished this card with an embossed sentiment from the Tweet Friend set.
