Hi there...
it's started to get colder here in Germany.... how I love this kind of whether. But somehow, the three of us got a little bit of the cold. Hopefully will be gone soon. Anyway, the holiday seasons' feeling is here. The Christmas Market in our city is there to see. How exciting... believe it or not, christmas is just a few weeks to come and here is the new challenge from CSI (Color Stories Inspiration) with Special Case No. S365-10 to start the holidays feeling....
The paper I used is My Mind's Eye - Chalk Studio 2. Since I thought I wanna use the photo from my husband and my baby, I thought the background would be perfect. So, I did a little bit of gesso to calm the background's writings (so somehow the photo would stand still even though the background was already bold). I cut some papers, layered them behind my photo. I waited until every layers fitted with each others, then I stapled them together to make it easier for me... but I didn't glue them to my layout, not yet.
I cut my flowers with Spellbinders Donna Salazar, distressed them all with Distress Ink - Antique Linen, traced the line and added different kind of half pearls. For the leaves I used Inkadinkado Stamp - Fossil Leaves, chalked it with Rembrandt Soft Pastels and then just rubbed it with my hand to create a distress looked. Once everything ready and before I glued everything, I stamped my background again with Prima Marketing Stamp - Finnabair, Vintage Vanity No.4. Once all glued, I chalked the edges from my layout with soft pastels again.

Here's my layout...
The color scheme : Black, Off-White, Coral/Salmon, Taupe and Green.
The Evidence : Distressing, Metal, Flowers and Leaves, Bricks, Tags, Cursive Font, Chalk(Pastel) and something powdery - Glitter.
The Testimony : I handwrite my journaling on a tag.
"To love is Nothing...
To be loved is Something...
But to be loved by the person you love is Everything...
And that I would say is Love Beyond Words...
I love you both!"
