How to Balance Two Colors on a Card

Balancing two colors can sometimes be harder than it sounds. Monochromatic is easy and multiple colors give you more options. With two colors, you seldom want a 50/50 balance. Here’s how I balanced the two colors in this card.

I love the Rooted in Nature stamp set, and I think the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper that goes with it is beautiful. The pattern with the brown leaves is my favorite of the designs. It’s soft, neutral and has a nice vintage feel to it.

TIP: Using the colors from a package of DSP is a simple way to get color inspiration.

That’s one of the reasons I chose Rich Razzleberry to pair with the browns. While there are two purples in the Nature’s Poem DSP package (Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss),  I also had the lovely Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon, so it was an easy decision as to which purple to use!
