Color inspiration for this one came from White With 1. White + Purple + Doodling! Ha! I have two boys, so needless to say, purple is not a mainstay here in the Haiss household.
I came across these photos I took of some springtime blooms and thought this will be a piece of cake. Purple flower, purple theme... not so much. I struggled and struggled with a LO and am still not happy with it. Don't get me wrong, there are some aspects of this page that I absolutely LOVE, and others that I HATE and the rest are so-so.
Some of the things I love, is the lacy banner at the top. It already came glittered and it was a shade of purple, a very light shade of purple. I wanted it a bit darker, so I spritzed some watered down ink on it and to my surprise, the ink only stuck to the non-glittered portion. LOVE the result!
I also LOVE the floss that I wrapped around the letters, which are clear acrylic painted on the backside.
Anyway, enough said...
The result...
Thoughts and comments, good or bad, are always appreciated!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it frustrating when a layout doesn't come together as you wish! Fab photos & I love how you've done your title...also love the strip across the top! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa ... I really like this one ... and I know how purple is a challenge for you (me too!) I love the lacy strip and the title ... really like the flower and how you used the liquid pearls around it ... I think the butterfly needs some stickles or something to make it pop, it seems to get lost for me ...
