Our Daughter

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:

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

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!  :)
