Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Day Five of The Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place  - and the first non-alphabet prompt.  Today's prompt is Same But Different (complementary colours).

I actually had this card completed but not photographed about 2 hours ago but got distracted with a phone call and have only just managed to get back to it (after being distracted by other things as well in the meantime).

There are six complementary colour pairs - three main ones and three in-between ones.  The obvious one to use for a poinsettia would be one of the main ones of red and green.  But when do I go for the obvious choice?  So, I chose the other two main pairings - purple/yellow and blue/orange.

and a close up of the individual cards:

I have used an image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.  Colouring is with copic markers.

  1. Well done Suze! It's always fabulous to see something a little different, and these complimentary colour schemes fit the bill perfectly. Love the matching borders you added too.
    Cheers,
