Combining Warm and Cool Colors

Hello friends!

Are you staying warm and cozy? I am already feeling the dead winter blue and it is time to create something bright and warm. Today's card combines the cool and warm colors. I think it really makes me feel better at the end.  

 
Here is the "Cozy" from Penny Black Die that I use as an example.

This "Cozy" die is awesome as it cuts everything out beautifully. I ink-blended the strip in Distress Oxide. One thing I want to remind you is that make your ink work for you!

let it snow

👉Don't be shy about using multiple shades of the same color family for ink-blending.

For example, for the green color, I used Cracked Pistachio, Bundle Sage and Twisted Citron (all Distress Oxide). For yellow, I used Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber.

I added a piece of glitter paper (linked below) for backing. This really added shine and brings out the green. Hope you enjoy today's post.

HERE are the latest products from Penny Black.
Thanks for stopping by!

The warm diecut against that cool background really creates some magic. Using the glitter CS just took it up a notch.
