Jewel in the Pacific

In May we took a vacation to Hawaii and what a jewel in the Pacific it proved to be!  CSI Case File 170 provided the perfect colors to work with in documenting our trip!

For this layout I wanted to concentrate on the stunning colors, line, die cutting and dry embossing. Here is how I went about creating this look: I started with plain white acid free paper, and spray painted it using a variety of product lines. After the paint was dry, I chose a border die compatible with the theme and cut a length of about eleven inches. Next, I ran each strip through my crimper for some fun texture. Last, I inked it a dark blue and layered the strips onto an inked background. This became my backdrop for the photos and embellies. I was very pleased with the outcome. 

Here, you can see the work that I did on the chipboard. I simply painted it with gesso, then a lime green, then added a crackle gloss effect and finished with a few pearls.
