Shades Of Purple

Hi scrappers! This week I bring you a very purple page to wrap up September. These photos were taken out in Death Valley, California. I can see why so many movies are filmed there because the landscape is so unique. These shots were taken at Bad Water Basin and that white stuff on the ground is actually salt even though it looks like ice. Fun fact, Death Valley is the hottest place on the planet with a record of 134 degrees. Fortunately it was only in the high 90s when we visited.

I used some basic white cardstock as my background because the purple tile paper I used by Recollections was so busy. I paired it with a scrap of polka dot paper I had and and some very thin purple strips that I had saved even though they were so small. They ended up working out well on this page.

I used a 12 X 12 stencil and stencil butter in Orchid by The Crafter’s Workshop to add some circular details and then added stickers from The Happy Planner Pressed Flowers and Beauty in Florals sticker books. I finished with some enamel dots and word strips from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Small Talk sticker book.

This page was created for the White…with 1 September challenge where the color for this month was purple. I was inspired by all the different shades of purple in the mood board and used paper that had lots of different purple tones.

This page was created as part of a scrap lift over on A Cherry on Top Crafts. This was the original sketch by CynthiaB that I was inspired by. I made stenciled circles rather than stitched ones and kept the big, bold, two word title.

That’s all for now. Thank you for visiting and I’ll see you next time in October. Can you believe September is already over? Spooky season awaits!
