Method Playground: Challenge #41 - Monochromatic Color Scheme

This time around... I want to issue a color scheme challenge... Here it is... Simple, straight forward, and very versatile!

Use a monochromatic color scheme on your page... Period!... Any subject, any materials, any journaling, any title, any size... Just make the page a "one color wonder"!!

Monochromatic color schemes, by definition... Use one hue (color), plus tints and shades (lights, mediums, and darks) of that chosen hue, and possibly, achromatics (whites, blacks and grays), or possibly neutrals (browns, beiges, tans, etc...).

How do you choose your hue?... Randomly, inspirationally, emotionally, etc... Or, the hue you choose can reflect the "feel" and or theme/subject of the photos... Red for love, blue for sadness, green for nature/serenity, etc...

So... Remember to have fun, check out the FAB DT examples below, and then LINK your take on the challenge here, by Sunday, April 5th, 12 midnite EST... And, I will pick a winner from the participants, and I will send a RAK off to the LUCKY WINNER!!

Good luck and make some art!!

Method Playground

We love to create and try new things. We also love challenges. So what better idea than to combine the two!

A new challenge will be added every other Monday, focusing on a different technique. Be sure to check back the following week - we'll post our favorites and we'll choose a RAK winner for each challenge.

Everyone is welcome to join in at any time. To participate in a challenge, just leave us a comment to the post for that week's challenge and include a link to your layout. That link can be to any gallery where you store your layouts. If you would rather not post to a gallery, feel free to send us an email instead.

Now... let's play!
