We're back with the challenges! This week's challenge on Shimelle's blog is to scrapbook with split complementary colours. I must admit, I read that and wondered what on earth that meant! Fortunately, she does break it down - look at a colour wheel and pick a colour, then go across the wheel and select the two colours either side.
I sometimes struggle with colour challenges but, when I saw these photos of my nephew, I noticed he'd done half the work for me by wearing a red top with lime green accents - all my layout needed was the addition of teal, although, admittedly, I went a bit more turquoise!
The papers on this layout are, again, from my scrap box and are rather old. The red is from the Studio Calico Abroad collection (the white dots really reminded me of the table tennis balls!), the arrows are from the Imaginisce Perfect Vacation collection, and the cameras are from a scrap of a Simple Stories paper.
I'd never used a colour wheel in my scrapbooking before and I'm not convinced I'll be doing it again, but it is an easy way to pick a colour scheme.
