Remember to follow your Dreams- CSI #86 with 2 Crafty



Here is another layout  as GD this month for CSI along with 2 Crafty who is sponsoring them. 
I played along with this yummy pastel palette from CSI # 86


Here is how I solved the case:

As evidence I used art mediums, architectural accents and I tied a bow to the tag hidden behind the photo.

As testimony I hand wrote on my journaling tag. The journaling is very personal but its very much related to the title. It is a message to my future self and to my children to always remember to follow your dreams.

 

I used lots of 2 Crafty chipboards on this page. To frame my photo, I used the Frame 2 Etched. After priming it with Gesso, I painted it peach colour acrylic paint. While paint was still wet, I sprinkled clear embossing powder on it and melted it with a heat gun. Then I stamped it in brown archival ink with swirl pattern.


On the picture above, you can see a little 2 Crafty Twiggy nest with eggs. I painted the eggs in cream acrylic paint and the nest I dabbed with Dry Sand Fluid chalk edger from Prima.

For the title, I used two words from the Friendship mini word pack. I painted them in cream acrylic ink.


Finally, I used the Flourish adornment set 3 which I also painted in peach coloured paint and stamped with brown archival ink.

Delish chipie treatment! totally love the palette, such pretty soft colours. Seeing you have started to use white cardstock as a base lately, makes all the colours stand out beautifully. Pretty pretty it is! xoxo
