September has arrived and it’s time for a new colour prompt!
This month we’re seeing out summer and moving into autumn and the perfect choice for that transition is:
Golden Lime
This shade of green sits between a chartreuse and lime – not necessarily the easiest tone to match, however the prompt I’ve found provides us with a colour scheme for inspiration.
Here are a few tips for this month’s colour:
- As you can see Golden Lime works very nicely against pastel tones and a neutral off white. It is the perfect shade for rose leaves and of course any other foliage to accompany floral elements.
- The mix of green shades above would work really nicely in 3-step stamping (a particular favourite of mine) and the light blue background could be easily coloured in with watercolours around a focal image.
- If you’ve moved into Christmas card production mode, then again working pastels in with traditional festive images like wreaths and winter scenes with trees is very on trend.
- Alternatively you can hop on the tail end of the citrus trend we’ve been seeing in crafting and homeware this summer – if you have citrus-themed embellishments or stamps, get them on a card.
- Green can be a difficult colour to focus on, but sometimes it’s about finding the right colours to use it with so that it provides the right contrast and a nice pop!
I hope you have fun with this one – happy crafting!
