I Walk Alone

I did this layout for the NVS design team June challenge. I immediately thought of this BasicGrey paper when I saw the collage, and I added the vintage dictionary pages to the edges and white washed them to emulate the look of the collage (I watered down a little drop of white paint and used a foam brush). I knew I wanted to use only 1 photo, and I tried to cut it out and make the silhouette like in the collage, but it just wasn't in the cards, lol. This is the second copy of this photo (as the other one was pretty butchered!) I kept the colors simple, but the red title really caught my eye in the collage. The journaling is "hidden" in the little pocket to the left of the photo. I feel like this layout is a little simple for me, but I just couldn't justify adding anything else; it seemed pretty harmonious as-is. Hope you enjoy!
