so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!
I hope you are having a great summer and are enjoying our july challenges.
As a general rule of thumb, a Mixed Media page is created with a variety of mixed mediums such as gesso, paint (splatters, strokes, blobs, splats), stamps, stencils etc. What makes this type of page stand out is also the use of texture. This month, for the Artsy/Mixed media challenge, we are exploring a Monochromatic Colour Scheme.
A monochromatic (or monotone) colour scheme involves using only one colour (or hue). By adding black, you create darker tones of this colour, and by adding white, you create lighter tints. This creates a harmonious and cohesive look on your scrapbook page.
Challenge Details:
The challenge is to create an artsy digital scrapbook page using a monochromatic colour scheme. Go wild with gesso, paint, stamps etc, but restrict yourself to one color. You are allowed to use a black and white picture, no color picture though.
Here's how to get started:
- Open your digital design software and set your colour picker to HSL mode.
- Select your main colour from the H (Hue) slider.
2. Create Your Monochromatic Palette
- Use the L (Lightness) slider to adjust your colour, creating various tints (lighter) and tones (darker) of your chosen hue. White and black are also allowed on your pages.
3. Design Your Scrapbook Page
- Using your monochromatic palette, design a scrapbook page. You can incorporate photos, digital elements, textures, and text, all within the same colour family. The only exception is your picture, which can be Black and White.
- Experiment with different shades and intensities to add depth and interest to your page.
4. Add Creative Elements
- Think about how to use contrast within your chosen colour. Dark tones can create shadows or frames, while light tints can highlight key elements.
Add patterns or textures that complement your monochromatic scheme.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure there's a good mix of tones and tints to keep the page visually interesting.
- A monochromatic scheme can draw attention to the details and emotions in your photos and journaling.
- Use these to add dimension and variety without introducing new colours.
As you can see, I went for blue.
I used the "June Feeling" kit by CarolW designs
