Research has shown…and indeed we have experienced it ourselves…that color plays an important part in the mood of our feelings. A person who is depressed is said to have the 'blues' while a person who is cheerful is said to have a sunny disposition. Since the sun is yellow, we associate yellow with cheerfulness.<\/p>\n
When creating cards or scrapbook pages, the mood we want to portray should be considered when choosing the colors used on the card or scrapbook page. As an example, let's consider scrapbook pages for two different weddings. One wedding was an elegant affair with the bridal party wearing formal dresses and tuxedos. Most likely, the bride chose sophisticated colors like purple or burgundy or even gray or black for the bridesmaid dresses. The men would definitely be wearing black tuxes. The colors on this scrapbook page would be the colors from Stampin' Up!'s Regal collection<\/strong> such as Elegant Eggplant<\/strong>, Not Quite Navy<\/strong>, Always Artichoke<\/strong>, or Bravo Burgundy<\/strong>, and a touch of neutral color such as Whisper White<\/strong>, Very Vanilla<\/strong>, Basic Black<\/strong>, Basic Grey<\/strong> or Sahara Sand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
