Sunday Postcard Art - Complementary Colours

I’m delighted to be hosting  Sunday Postcard Art  this week, and my theme is Complementary Colours.

Complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel.  This is a simple colour wheel - they make them in many different gradations.  I don’t want you to stress over whether your colours are exactly complementary!  Just have fun.  

I made two cards with two different sets of complementary colours.  The first one features orange-red and blue-green.  

The second features green-gold and pink.

I like the way the black and white images play against the colours - you might think black and white would be complimentary colours but they do not appear on the colour wheel at all.  

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you enjoy the theme!  I can’t wait to see what you make.

Both samples are wonderful! I don't usually like complementary colors on me - but on paper you can get great effects with them.
Wonderful sunday & best wishes

I loved this challenge. Thank you very much Cindy!
I like the contrast between black and white and these beautiful colors.
What a rich idea!
Your cards are beautiful, vintage and modern at the same time.
