Here's the
latest case file. You have until July 31st to solve the case.
Here's how
I solved the case:
The Scene:
All the
colors plus a dash of black for the text print
The Evidence:
Text Print
- part of the pattern paper
Book Pages
- dictionary page used as photo matting
Flowers,
Leaves - chipboard vines and flowers embellishing my photos
Wood -
heart icons that I scattered around the page
Testimony:
Inspiration
Word: Happiness - that's my title: Seek Happiness
I chose to
use a piece of Prima paper from the Swirlydoos October 2016 "Rose
Garden" kit as my base; the color and overall pattern makes a perfect base
for my layout featuring my son and daughter-in-law on vacation in Aruba some
years ago.
I primed
my chipboard vines with gesso before giving them a thick coating of Prima
Sparks paint, keeping it somewhat uneven to give it texture.
While the
vines were drying, I cut the Graphic 45 papers, inked the edges and adhered
them to the base with Scor-Tape. (I like to use tape when applying paper to
paper when possible; it prevents the warping that you get with liquid
adhesive.)
The larger
photo was taped to a double thickness of packaging to make it pop off the page
and glued to a double layer of a dictionary page that I had torn and inked;
this was taped to the banners.
The
smaller photo was cut down and glued to the resin frame and taped to the
banners on the bottom.
I cut the
vines apart, using the larger parts to embellish the large photo and the
smaller ones around the resin frame.
To create
the title, I dug out a Tim Holtz word stickers pad and found the words that fit
my layout. Before adhering them to the page, I gave them an outline by inking
the edges.
To
complete my layout, I embellished the photos with Prima flowers from my stash
(with a few bits of cheesecloth tucked in) and scattered the heart icons around
the page.

few closeups:
