A triadic color scheme consists of 3 hues found an equal distance from each other on the color wheel. Primary colors are triadic (as shown here), and the secondary colors (orange, green, and purple) are, too.

Aluminum Tape as a Decorative Feature
This self-adhesive stuff is a great way to add texture to a collage/painting. As you can see in the first photo, the roll I bought at a home-improvement store came with "writing" in red. (Gesso can cover any logo or words later.)
I placed this piece of the tape upside-down on a cushion of paper towels so I could press a design into it with a dull pencil. Instant embossing!
You can cut the aluminum tape into strips or use paper punches on it, too!
On this decorative paper, I first used some of my cut tape as stencils as I spray painted the card stock.
When the spray paint was dry, I removed them and applied painted strips. (Spatter was last.)
