Scrapbooking is my passion, but guess what I love just as much?
Color! I love every single color in my crayon box. Do you remember holding your first big gigantic box? Remember how the crayons smelled when you cracked open the bend-back lid? Seeing that rich rainbow of perfection was one of the most exciting moments of my childhood. I used to hold my crayons most carefully so they wouldn’t break, and one of my favorite things was taking my crayons and mixing them together to create a unique color or combination. Not surprisingly, I’m still doing that today! I love experimenting with colors to keep my art unique and beautiful. So I thought I would share my color keys—my wild color experiments from the Close To My Heart “crayon box”—with you. Each Monday I’ll show you a new combination in our wonderful exclusive Close To My Heart colors. I think you’ll find fun ideas for your art projects, and it’ll be a great way to brighten any Monday and kick start a new week.
Today’s featured color is Heavenly Blue using Garden Green, Desert Sand, and Sorbet as secondary and supporting colors. Discover this “heavenly” combination for yourself and I’ll share more colorful artwork inspirations next week!
