So when this new case from CSI : Color, Stories, Inspiration came up, it was even more of a challenge. I actually don't have that much to work with in regards to those 2 colours, but thanks to the SCT Sampler kit that I receive every month, I was able to pull this together.
Here's Case #291 Freestyle Prompts: :

And here's what I made with it!
These pictures are from my youngest daughter's Grade 8 Graduation night. Everything that she wanted for her "look" was completely different than every other girl in her class - from the fauxhawk to the long dress and high heeled shoe, she's so colourful!
Here's how I solved this case:

All of the colours are there, plus I added in some light blue, and a brighter pink in addition to the scheme.

I'm planning on making a TOP 5 List as suggested by the WRITING FORMAT clue. I was also inspired by the WORD : Fashion.
Here's some closeups :
Here's a closer look at the title area. Most of the product here is from Vicki Boutin. I used many pop dots in the creation of this page, but I really love the dimension that they bring. I mixed a tiny bit of Vicki's gold glaze with more of her iridescent glaze to get a "softer" gold colour for the stenciling. The photo doesn't really show how glittery it is IRL.
Many, many layers using many, many pop dots under the main photo on the page!
My favorite photo and the perfect embellishment!! She loves this "rockin' it out" pose and uses it often, so OF COURSE we had to do it at Grad too! Also a closer look at the "watercolour kissing" background work on the page, and more stenciling. I have to get better at planning my backgrounds first. There's way more kissed colour under the photo block that I ended up covering up!
And finally, just a couple of photos of some of the finishing touches - these are all just stickers, but they add just the perfect little something to this page.

I don't know why you shy away from pink and purple, you incorporated them beautifully on this layout. I love how the eye goes directly to the vertical line down the centre of your page. It perfectly reflects the vertical line created by her long dress. Great design idea. I also love the gold dots, and how you've overlapped the word "you" over the word "colorful". The soft watercolour effect on the background is subtle but still adds a pretty touch. Really well done. TFS.
For someone who doesn't like pink and purple, you've handled them beautifully here. I used to hate pick but now it's one of my fave colours. It's funny how things change!
