Sunshine Smiles

The palette of case file #104 at CSI was a little intimidating for me, but I was determined to give it a try :-). The hardest color was, obviously, the pink one.

I've made the background with Portfolio Oil Pastels, stamping, washi tape, masking with textured modeling paste and gesso. The photo is of my eldest, when he was about 5 months old, and I printed it on a canvas sheet, so it's a little grainy.

Here's case file #104 at CSI:

The clues I've used to solve the case were:

Scheme - I've used all 5 colors.

Evidence - frames, hearts, polka dots, paint (gesso, Portfolio Oil pastels, inks), doily.

Testimony - since the page is quite busy, the journaling is on the back of the page, and it says: "You've smiled an intended smile when you were only 3 weeks old. I knew it was an intended smile, and since then you kept smiling. Since you were a baby, you used to wake up with a sunshine smile. You start your days with a smile and it always makes my heart sing. May you remain with your sunshine smiles for the rest of your life."

I used the sketch from ScrapFriends #21:

Here are some close-ups on the details:

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. I really appreciate your comments.
