One of my favorite things to kick start a project with is a rainbow color scheme. For today's video, I share my favorite color selections for this as well as how you can create quick & easy projects using them with repeated images. Use this week's challenge as a great way to bring some color to your cold, winter days! And as a little something extra, my daughter Hannah was on Christmas break while filming this week's video, so she joined me and shares a few of her projects too!
Here are my favorite rainbow schemes that I have put together for you…
Here are all of my favorites in one printable worksheet that you can take right to your work space!
