Complementary ....

.... Colours. This week's challenge for PaperPlay Challenges!!!!

This week's challenge is set by Elisa ... "The challenge is complementary colours, that is, to use colours that are opposite to each other in the colour wheel, such as red/green, yellow/purple, orange/blue, etc."
.
Here's my contribution to the DT entries:
.

I had to google and print out a colour wheel, as, apart from the combinations Elisa mentioned, I hadn't a clue which colours were complementary to which!!! Decided to go with blue and orange eventually, as I have this new BG Marrakech paper that I hadn't broken into yet. The stamp is Hero Arts, coloured with Prismas and with Glossy Accents to make the petals dimensional and shiny.

Hope all the DT entries inspire you to enter the challenge. And congrats to Liz, who won last week's prize.

Thanks for looking.
