I decided to participate in today's Challenge by using complementary colors on this mini Post It holder.
The stamp set is called Scenic Selections by Mark's Finest Papers a Heinricht Company. I love this set so much! It has may images in various sizes. That way, you can pick and choose! I love that! I stamped in the fence multiple times. Next I stamped in the tree. This tree is a fall tree but I added in a small leaf from the stamp set multiple times. Now it looks like a summer tree! I had a tough time choosing complementary colors for this. Good thing I had only this color mini Post It. I made the decision for me! Hee I sponged in the moon by reverse masking. The rest is sponged in with Palette inks. Complementary colors are: Purple/Yellow and Blue/Orange. You can see these made a pretty nice Night scene!
This measures: 6" x 2.5" and has a magnet attached to the back. (I just put it on my fridge!)

Nice project!! I love the golden yellow and the purple together. Your moon looks terrific!! That's a nice project with the post it notes and the cork bg.

I'm so colour-challenge challenged that something like your Post-it notes giving you the way in is what I always need. I think you've created a fabulous night scene with that as your starting point, and it looks wonderful against the cork.

Totally fabulous use of complementary colors. Love the cork with this! Your purple post it is perfect and I'm so glad you had it to inspire this great color combo!
