My beloved child - CSI case file no. 284

A new month, with a new case files at CSI. I've made my layout for case file no. 284:

I really loved the colors of the inspiration photo, and took a photo of my youngest, about 12 years ago, eating an apple on one of our trips.

I challenged myself to use a dark background as I rarely do so, and I love the outcome.

I used all 5 colors and for the evidence I used: dark background, wood (on the photo itself and wooden buttons) and woodgrain pattern, stripes, chveron, frames, tags, labels, numbers (on the clock face), metal (eyelets and brads), and flowers. My journaling is on a tag.

For the background, I used 7 Dots Studio stamp with Lindy's ep.

It was so good to use some old stash, that I've been hoarding for ages (some Fancy Pants embellies and wooden buttons), along with some new ones. I really don't remember when was the last time I used buttons on my layouts.... LOL it used to be such a popular item.

All the different flowers and leaves were made using Lindy's embossing powedrs, some I die cut and just inked and heat embossed, and some were stamped and heat embossed. I love the way they all turned out.

I would like to enter it to challenge 52 at Fantasy, which is Little happiness:

Materials I used:

Papers: Simple Stories 'Posh' collection, 13 Piatek 'Love in Bloom' collection.

Stamps: 7 Dots Studio ('Dreamscapes' collection), Kesem Art.

Lindy's Gang embossing powders: Sunrise Salmon Gold, King Midas Gold, Sunset Yellow Orange, Purely White, Queen Sheba's Silver and Obviously Black.

Embellies: Fancy Pants (mostly 'Park Bench' collection), My Mind's Eye (brads), eyelets and buttons from my stash.
