Imagine: Scenic Stamping layout

Hi everyone! This week we have a really beautiful case file at CSI, and a colour combo that works for a lot of photos and topics. It is already time for case file #25, to celebrate there is a bit of a twist to the challenge this week. I hope you can play along with us. Here's the case file:

When I saw the photo and the colours I immediately knew I wanted to do a piece of scenic stamping. This is the fourth full-sheet (8.5x11in) layout I make for my son where I place him into the scene, together with some journaling (in this case a stamped sentiment and some more text behind the layout).  You can find the others here, here and here.



From the evidence items I used: architectural elements, foliage, clouds, shadows. From the journaling items I was inspired by the word ‘majestic’.  I added a journaling page behind the layout, writing about the importance of having the courage to imagine.

The scene got just the reaction from him I expected, since this looks like exactly something my son would want to do in real life: he immediately said that he wants to ride a train too.

After having promised to do a tutorial on scenic stamping for a while, I finally remembered to take all the step-by-step photos of the colouring process (I usually forget many of them). I will post the tutorial tomorrow, I just need to write the text.

Thank you for looking!
