This week our weather has been over the top {{HOT}} which makes me crave the beach. But right now there are too many people at the beach every day and I am a bit nervous hanging about a bunch of strangers when we are supposed to be keeping our distance from each other.
So I have been creating a lot of beach-themed cards, like the one I posted on Wednesday. And that made me think that maybe you might be in a beach mood too.
When creating beach projects, there are certain color combinations I would recommend:
Combination #1
These three I choose for basic beach elements: sky/water, sand and plants/trees. Sahara Sand, Old Olive and Balmy Blue are my most common go-to colors for this kind of theme.
Combination #2
This set of colors are darker in tone. I love Crumb Cake with Soft Suede - think beach sand with palm tree trunks. Pacific Point is quite a vivid blue so use it sparingly, like on the lighthouse below. You can also use it to lightly sponge the sky - but only with a tiny bit of ink on your sponge:
Combination #3
This set of three colors created a more pastel look for beach cards. I love the soft look of this combo:
What are your top colors for beach cards or projects - leave me a comment to let me know - I might give your combo a try on my next beach card. Why not try your combo and make a card today too!
