Today I'm sharing my layout for CSI's latest case file. You can CLICK HERE to see what the rest of the design team came up with.
I had originally planned to scrap a color photo of the centerpieces from Ireland's birthday party last year, but when I put the black and white up against these colors I had to do a switcheroo...I love the contrast!
Here is the case file:
For my evidence I chose chevrons, polka dots, scallops and textured (watercolor) paper. I didn't have a bunch of journaling because the photo was a last minute switch, but seeing that big toothy grin definitely makes me cheerful and is definitely cause for celebration daily, so I chose those 2 inspiration words and created corner sentiment on the layout.
Here are some closeups:
These white canvas American Craft Thickers have been my go to on so many layouts. They are so versatile and the font seems to go with almost anything. I covered these ones in orange and yellow gelatos, then outlined them with a black ballpoint pen.
Some of my corner journaling.
A closeup of that infectious grin. And the layers that I put behind it. It's a bit hard to read in the photo, but I used a Citrus Twist Kit stamp that says "you fill my heart." The flair button is Basic Grey Hey Girl.
I used gelatos and a watercolor brush to do the base layer of the background, then went over that with a sunburst stencil and some modeling paste.
Thanks for stopping by!! See you soon. :)
xoxo,
Shawna
