Hi there,
Nothing traumatic happening today... so that's good! It was a quiet day... another cold one out there.
I had time to complete a few layouts, which I'm super happy about.
This layout was submitted at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration for their Case File #57. The deadline for entries is February 10th.
Here's the "case" info:
And the color palette:

This is what I created:
This is our dear daughter when she was in the 10th grade.
I used the Color Scheme.
The evidence included: Hearts, Flowers, Stars and large heart as major design element.
The testimony: Heart shaped journaling spot and hearts added to the journaling spot.
Supplies used:
Paper: DCWV, Colorbok
Lace Fabric
Large Background Heart: Hand Made
Glitter Chipboard Heart & Stars
Seam Binding Rosettes: Hand Made
Pink Flowers: Forever in Time
Other Flowers
Paper Heart Doily
Distressing
EK Success Border Punch
Sharpie Marker
Gems: Forever in Time & Glitterazzi
Show Globe Glitter Gems: Forever in Time
Perfect Pearls Mist: Perfect Pearl
Mister Huey's Color Mists: Shine
Vellum Dragonfly
I added a heart to the center of the paper doily, distressed the edges and added two hearts and a flower.
Lace fabric was used to cover the pink heart that I hand made. To add a bit more to the plain pink strip, I added a punched border.
The stars are chipboard. Flowers were added in between the two stars with gems added for their centers. The flowers were misted.
I found a book of printed vellum sheets with a variety of designs and this dragonfly really caught my eye because it's TEAL! I just had to add it to my page, cutting it from the page, adhering it only in the center to leave the wings free-flowing.
Here's a closer look at the chipboard heart and flowers.
Here's a better look at the cutest dragonfly! :)
