Fun in the water - Terry Nelson - USA

Here is the lay out I created for CSI: ( Color, Stories, Inspiration)
Major Case File No. 229  May Challenge


These pictures are of my grandson playing in the water with his grandpa.
They are a couple of years old, taken in 2014.




Here is how I solved the case...

Scheme: All the colors...Check
Evidence :
I have Stripes, Flowers, and Something loopy. ...Check


Testimony / Topic:

"Liam
Fun in the water
.

Pemigewasset river,
Hobbit Hill Farm"
...Check! 
I used Maja Designs "Crea Diem" for background papers.  

I gessoed some circles by actually banging the almost empty gesso bottle on the paper.  I was trying to get more out and it looked cool so I just banged it here there and every where. 
Then I used modeling paste, stamps.  I die cut the flourishes in teal and white then used clear embossing powder on them.  They are supposed to look like splashes. 
I painted the wooden fish gray, and added some detail.
The topic was created in photo shop and printed from my computer.


So happy with the way it turned out. ❤️
Thank you for taking a look

  1. Really nice layout, Terry. The background work is so pretty. I love how you used the yellow paint and the print stamp to frame the main body of your layout. How neat that trying to get the last bits of gesso out of the bottle made those circles. The fish are really cute. Love the sweet photo and all those fun flourishes. Great job solving the CSI case. TFS. ♦
