How can I create a monochromatic page that’s still interesting?
Monochromatic pages are great for letting the photo shine and for helping you narrow down your paper and embellishment choices. The key is to use different values of the color—from dark to light. A light blue mixed with a navy won’t feel so heavy as an all-navy layout. In the other sense, a pastel blue layout won’t have as much weight as if you had added a bit of a deeper blue.
In addition, pick tone-on-tone patterned papers that add shape and interest with their stripes, symbols, or other designs. This is a great way to add a feeling of dimension.
