Breathe Watercolour Layout

Hello Saturday! I hope you will get some crafty time this weekend! Maybe make a layout for this week's CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration challenge. Darkroom Door is sponsoring CSI this month. Here's the case file:

 

 

My layout:

 

I clicked on the magnetic poetry inspiration link and had a really fun time making a little poem. Try it out, there are different categories. I did the nature one since I love being outdoors (and haven't been able to do that to the same extent recently because of knee issues). From the evidence I used: jewels, hearts and fabric. There is an oops in the title of this layout...I kept thinking there should be an 'e' at the end 'breathe', but forgot to add it.

I started with watercolour paper, and smeared modeling paste through a Prima bicycle stencil with a palette knife. When the paste was dry, I painted the background with yellow and orange watercolours, adding some teal splatters.

My little magnetic poetry journaling piece. I also found a sticker that fit really well, both with the colours and the sentiment.

The teal paper behind the photos was also painted with watercolours. When dry, I stamped it with trees from the Gum Trees and Trees sets, as well as with a new script texture stamp. The stamps were inked with Peacock Feathers and misted with water before stamping. Love these tree stamps.

The strip behind the teal panel was embossed in a woodgrain folder and I also added a strip of washi tape. The photos were layered on cheese cloth, for some added texture. I like the organic and free-flowing look of cheese cloth.

Thank you for looking! Enjoy your weekend!
