The next color in the rainbow was purple...indigo...violet. I like purple, and I feel like I often wear purple, but when I went through my photos, I had a hard time finding something that really highlighted the color. In the end, I went with a soft purple: my niece's shirt. I do like the feeling of this, and was happy with the final project.
I was inspired by a LO in the gallery to go for a deep, dark purple and focus on the elegant feeling of purple. I scrapped the formal photos from our cruise in February. I really like the feeling of how it turned out. I even stitched, layered, stamped, and rolled the edges of the paper to create dimension.
The last week of the class was on neutrals. I thought that this would be so easy. Ha! I spent one whole evening, scrapping with dear friend Deborah, just completing the color cards for black and white. I was really feeling stuck and uninspired. I think that I like color a lot, and found all of the color cards much easier to complete. However, when they I finally finished, I did like the feeling.
There was one last Built It exercise for the class, and this is the one that I did not complete. I felt like I did learn all of the techniques and I got a lot out of the experience. I've already signed up for the next class that I am going to take...with Ali Edwards. It looks great. Check it out here.
