Welcome to a new year of CSI challenges. This year we're mixing it up a bit. You can either solve the case the old school way, with all the color, evidence, and testimony prompts....or....be inspired by the inspiration photo. I did a bit of both. The colors this month were just perfect to scrap this photo of my first grandbaby. I also included several of the evidence prompts, but let my journaling just be about this lil dude.
For evidence I used:
distressed background, stars, banners, string, triangles, and dashed lines.
I thought the stars prompt fit perfectly, not only with the baby, but with this super fun kit by Unity Stamp Co, Happy Holidays. I both stamped them out onto watercolor paper, but onto shrink plastic and made fun little embellishments from them. I painted the full sized stars with Kuratake Gansai Tambi paints (I love the brilliance of these paints), and I colored the shrink plastic stars with Prismacolor pencils. The distressing was used by stamping, in multiple generations with some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. This "Hello" flair, from A Flair For Buttons was the perfect extra addition. A simple border finished off the piece.
