I've been waiting a long time to scrap these pictures and finally, the Lil' Critters line from My Little Shoebox inspired me. Along with a few Petaloo flowers that I painted with Shimmerz in Magenta then sprayed with Grape Escape Vibez to get the right color.
I was inspired to use purple on this layout (a color that I NEVER use) because of something that my momma told me. She said that she read about an artist who purposely incorporated a color that she didn't like into her work so that she could be more neutral in her assessment of her design. By incorporating a color that she doesn't like, she automatically became less personally involved in her work and she can become a better critic of her own project. Interesting idea, no?
So I did just that. I put some purple in. What is unexpectedly funny is that I ended up enjoying my purple. In fact, I really like it. Somehow in the addition of purple flowers, I made peace with that color. I'm not sure how.
Which brings me to my challenge to you...incorporate a color that you don't normally use in your next project. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this addition changed your work. Make sure you leave me a comment with a link so I can visit.
By the way...I'd like to thank Sakura for sending me the gel pens that I used to make my title. I love Sakura pens! Thank you!
Happy Creating!
