For this week's CSI case file I went vintage. This is not a comfortable scrapping style for me, and I always struggle with it. But this file and photo felt like it needed a vintage layout, so I went for it. Here is this week's color scheme:
Pulled out the bloomers again and a Heidi Swapp title word for the "Love"; handwrote a letter to my daughter and wrapped it in a scroll that I distressed with various Tim Holtz distressing inks.
Little birdie from my Citrus Twist kit, and I went outside and grabbed some twigs for it to perch on.
More Citrus Twist embellies, and a Little Yellow Bicycle word pin. Bark from a tree in our yard to anchor the photo.
Hello friends! Happy hump-day! Hope everyone is having a fabulous week! The weather is gorgeous here and it looks like spring is actually cooperating (finally). 75 degrees today? I'll take it!
Today's layout is one I created using my April Citrus Twist kit for my design team submission for the About A Girl challenge blog. This is our first full, sponsored challenge over at AAG, and this month we are lucky to have 7 Dots Studio sponsoring the challenges, and they will be giving our winners some fabulous goodies! So come play along and introduce us to the lovely little ladies in your life. Cheers!
Lots of layers from the embellies in my April Citrus Twist kit
To compliment the cloud-paper, I beefed up the title, made with ghost letters, by adding some cotton .
I spritzed some white tags, added some random word stamps, and then embossed with white powder to add some clouds. Then I stapled some silver ribbon as pulls on the tags.
More cotton on the puffy clouds. Really love the way these came out!
I just recently happened upon the Scrapfriends blog and holy moly the first post I read through was this (today lol)...perfect timing because I have a half finished layout with blank white tags that were just waiting for something like this. On a mission this evening. Chardonnay, ink, masks and embossing powder. Hot, right? Hehehe! Check out this video of Sanna's start-to-finish (super amazing) layout using this technique. And check back tomorrow for my first go at incorporating this technique. Happy Friday everyone!
