Color My {Summer} World

I can't believe we are already at Week 5 of Summer School!  Week 5 is all about color! The pdf. file for subscribers and summer school students is also found on the Summer School page.  Here on the blog I thought I would show my take on the challenge of the week! Here is the Color My {Summer} World Sketch that is found in the lesson:

Anyone can play along with this sketch challenge! All you have to do is choose a harmonious color scheme using 1-4 colors  interpreting this sketch any way you choose! (You do NOT have to choose the same colors in the sketch) The sketch also includes a paint swatch card as an element which is optional ! (These were included in the Clique into Summer kit but are available wherever house paints are sold :D)  We would love to see subscribers play along, but Clique Kits products are NOT required to enter!  Upload your project to instagram or to the Clique Kits Facebook page, 
#Cliquekits, #Cliqueintosummer during color week July 13-19th. Have fun! We have a prize for one lucky winner!

Here is my challenge page from my summer album in 6 x 8 format. And here it is shown with the other side:

Most people know that red, blue, and yellow are primary colors and form a harmonious triad, and the Good Day Sunshine Collection does most of the work for me. Even though they are primary hues, the colors used in this collection and on my layout are actually "shades." Golden yellow and the tertiary color blue-green mixed with a grey to make a muted shade of teal "change up" the traditional primary color scheme and add interest. It is easy to tell that this is a 4th of July spread, without sticking to traditional red white and blue. By allowing the red to be dominant,  the emphasis is still 'patriotic' and energetic because red is a very vibrant color! Since it is a 'warm' color, it is perfect for complementing exciting things like parades and fireworks!  How do you think about using color in your layouts?
I would love to hear from you and see you play along with the sketch challenge!
