Playing with the colors red and green Today, I am sharing a card project that I created for the Altenew Academy Polychromatic class taught by Nina-Marie Trapani. In this class, Nina discussed tips and tricks to effectively use multi-colors and color combinations to make cards that pop. One of the simplest, and one of my most favorite ways to add color, is to have a crisp white background to balance out the bright hues and allow them to take center stage. So, I chose a simple layering stamp set to play with a color combo of red and green popping up in the white background.
