My layout:
![Layers of ink - Together Quilling Layout](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxd8NI4AT57N5PlEv3XDR7cNRfFIIBBKbgS2SGC7bDQsSFNvHxMwaMewyziRFz6Uao5ZnnUxdXXxPG3lX-Q3ToXUMHW4NzIrcSI2ZXsQfeOn248qbKYTuitSEVw3_X3-02ENJbvJjjKPg/s1600/csi+case+file+129a+-+Layers+of+ink.jpg)
The July theme is weddings and this photo of my parents worked real well with the colours. From the evidence items I used: chevrons, numbers, flowers, stems, silver metal, fabric and stitching. From the testimony, I was inspired by the six-word memoir, using Chit Chat stickers.

There was a time when I did a lot of quilling, and I had fun making fringed flowers and some greenery for this layout. I posted a tutorial for fringed flowers long ago, you can find it here.

I mixed some Iced Spruce paint into embossing paste and smeared through a Tim Holtz Chevron stencil. When it was dry, I stamped it with a love definition stamp and Watering Can ink.

The background is watercolour paper coated with gesso. I did a wash with Mustard Seed Distress Paint. Before it was completely dry, a heart stencil was placed on top and I used a moist cloth to wipe off the paint. The Distress Damask stamps were stamped with Sap Green Archival ink and the text with Watering Can.

I also stamped a few flowers on the background, using the same green ink. Under the photo, there is an embossed piece of white cardstock, dry embossed vellum and some tulle.

I covered some grungeboard with Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements fabric and die cut two hearts from it. The edges were frayed slightly. I also added a strip of the same fabric in the layers under the photo.

The Mini Old Jalopy was die cut from cardstock covered with foil tape. I painted it with Black Soot and wiped most of the paint off. The windows are a sheet of mica.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely layout - the quilling works so beautifully to add detail and dimension, and I love the meadow grass stamping in the background. What a charming photo too of your parents too.
