Bloomz

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!

  4. Lisa ... 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 ...
