OK, so when I think of Spring I think of flowers, bunnies and pastel scrapbook paper. The only problem is that I typically do not use pastels in my layouts. But, being the risk-taker that I am, I decided to challenge myself.
So, my goal was to use pastel colors while achieving a layout that is more masculine than feminine. Here is what I did...
- Used black paper to help ground the layout
- Inked the edges with black ink to add a grungy feel to the layout
- Avoided rounded corners and soft edges.
Tip: Geometric layouts with a focus on straight lines help to add a more masculine touch.
The Result: Well, I am not sure how masculine it turned out. But, I wouldn't exactly call it feminine either, more like unisex. I guess there is but so much to be done with pastel pink, lavender and baby blue paper.
How would you make a "boyish" layout with pastel paper?
