Changes Layout - CSI case file #143

Hello and welcome! I hope you had a good weekend. Today I am sharing my layout for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration case file #143. Here's the case file and sketch:

 

 

 My layout:

I liked the sketch with the banners and the background divided into two blocks. From the evidence I used: mixed media, birds, circles book paper, gears and clouds. From the testimony I was inspired about journaling about something that has been very much on my mind lately. I will share it on the blog in a month or so. The background was coated with gesso and when dry, painted with Iced Spruce and a mix of Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers.

The birds were added by smearing Ranger's Texture Paste through a stencil by Dina Wakley. When the paste was dry, I painted it white. I die cut the clouds with a Simon Says Stamp exclusive die and added rub-ons to them.

 

The texture in the gesso gives a nice effect. Some of the paint was rubbed off from the background before it dried completely, by placing a Dina Wakley stencil on the background and rubbing with a moist cloth.

'Smile' is a very useful word to have as a die, this one is from a Sizzix set by KI Memories.

The little man was die cut with a new KI Memories die by Sizzix, and the balloons with a die set by Stephanie Barnard.

 

The banners were die cut with the an Echo Park Sizzix set, as well as the word die cut from this banner. I die cut the banners from a leftover piece of inky glossy cardstock.

 

I also used a word stencil by Dina Wakley, together with the Texture Paste.

 

Thank you so much for looking! I hope you will join us this week!

 

Happy crafting!
