Purple Reign

This page looks harmless, right? But it gave me a bit of trouble at first. I’m pleased with the end result, though.

Purple Reign

Here are the facts about this layout:

  • When I first started working on this layout, I used only patterned paper. It all coordinated but ended up being a bit too much. Once I switched out my base layer for white cardstock, it came together much better.
  • Here’s the sketch I ultimately decided to go with for this page.
  • My wingman came up with the title. Since this page is about people wearing purple, it seems quite appropriate.
  • This page is my entry in Shimelle’s challenge to use woodgrain patterned paper.
  • I have a difficult time using cork and other kraft elements on my page, so I’m delighted I was able to overcome this and embrace the brown.

If you want to see how this layout started, check out the process video. I think it’s interesting to see how it started and where it ended up.
