" First Cuddle "

Hi everyone and I just can't believe how far behind I am with my blog posts so here's another one that I did recently.

This is Major case file 175 at Color, Stories and Inspiration (CSI)

As I said I am behind in my blog posts so I don't have a pic of the case file and sketch to show where I got my inspiration from.

This is a photo of my little " fur baby" when we first got her from the breeder sitting on my son's knee for the car ride home.

I painted corrugated cardstock for the background and then tore the 

patterned paper on the diagonal. The sketch called for a set of three photos

which I placed down the page.

I used striped pattern paper to put some fishtails off the photos.

Painted the large flowers  the same colour as the corrugated board.

I put the circle frames around the first photo of my baby girl

and all the chipboard was inked with black archival ink.

I used my Motex machine to ad my journalling to this layout, and then

hand wrote some of the words in different fonts. I like that look. The circles are texture

paste which I then doodled around.

I love the little wooden dogs that I have randomly put around the page 

plus some flairs and layers of pattern papers.

Case File Elements;

The Scheme: Aqua, yellow, white, light pink and grey

The Evidence: I used, polka dots, grid pattern, animals, doodling, flowers,buttons, 

The Testimony: I used the prompt to handwrite my story mixing the print and cursive. You can see it on the front of the layout.

Corrugated board
