The colour of white!

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

Doodlebug recently challenged it's designers to work with one colour and really showcase how a single hue can make a strong statement on our projects. Now I put my hand up for Lily White which seemed like a good idea at the time...

PROJECT | Colour Challenge Layout




... until I struggled with getting the design to work on a white background. So, I had to deviate from the plan just a little and use coloured cardstock to make the white pop.


WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM | My doodle pad. As I've mentioned before, I cannot start a project without having a design drawn on paper so I spend quite some time scribbling down ideas until something resonates with me.




Finally I had some fun adding splashes of white ink to soften the overall appearance of the circle around my photo.

      Gaby, I would be thrilled if you 'lifted' my layout and would love to see it once you are done. :) Thank you so much for asking.
