Neutral Colour Temperature

Lesson #15 at the MFT Summer School was all about Colour Temperatures and how different temperatures evoke a different mood in a card.  For instance cool colours, blues, greens and purples can be used to create a calm or serene effect.  MFT says that " A neutral colour palette (black, white, browns, greys) often evokes a classy, elegant, sophisticated, and glamorous feel".  I went for the neutral palette as I thought this was the most challenging and I was right (I think).  My chosen image is from Lili of the Valley, adding to challenge of making a white polar bear stand out in the snow...... yep I know.  My initial intention was to use greys, so I stamped the image in MFT Grout Grey.  Greys seemed a little cool so I added beige to soften the effect. What you can't see is the subtle sparkle I added to the snow falling. I do like how it turned out but am not sure it fits classy, elegant, sophisticated and glamorous, well maybe just a little.
