One-Sided Underwater Conversations! :)

Hello everyone!

Here is my take on the latest challenge at CSI, where I am guest designing this month - as part of the 2Crafty team.  

This layout has an unusual title, a true original I'd say! ;)



The colour scheme to work with this week is so fresh and I thought it had a real aquatic vibe... perfect for these cute photos!! As well as using the colours and sketch provided, I have also used the following items, to crack the case;

Evidence -
1. Metal
2. Twine
3. Jewels
4. Fabric
5. Jagged Edge
6. Clouds
7. Something Sheer

Testimony -
Look at your picture and let your thoughts wander and just write about what comes to mind.

The 2Crafty Chipboard I've used are;

Bubble Fish - These have been covered in gesso, inked using sequin waste mesh as a mask, stamped with bubble wrap using acrylic paint, then I have attached felt fins, goggle eyes and drawn little mouths on each.


Suns - I have used the circlular sections of this pack only and mixed paint on each for a marbled effect, finishing off with some doodling in black pen.


Funky Frame - This has been gessoed and doodled using a black gel pen and paint pen.  I have also decorated it with FWAB adhesive pearls and baker's twine.


Wavy Borders - I've used the same technique on these as I did with the "Suns", mentioned above. :)



I have used the fantastic Kaisercraft collection "Tropicana" for my layout... what a rocking collection!!!

That's all from me for today!

TFL!!! :D

Cheers,
Chantal
