Blow Out The Candles

Happy New Year, everyone! I'm starting 2017 off with a layout for the CSI Design Team. Over at CSI we are celebrating five years of happy scrapping! How lucky I am to be on the wonderful CSI Design Team!  

Here is how I solved the case:

Scene: All five colors used
Evidence: Tiny dots, grid, circles, string, leaves,
      puffy sticker
Testimony: Document a birthday (the occasion
      was my daughter's most recent birthday),
      mix stickers and handwriting

You can see the embossing, painting, and texturizing I used here. 

A little dimension makes the layout pop! 

Products:

Blue Fern Studios paper (Blush, Charmed and
       Reminisce), embossing powder (Fuchsia,
       Lime, Golden Seas), chipboard pieces (Blow
       Out the Candles, Candlestick) and stamp
       (Coarse Fabrics)
Crafter's Workshop stencils
Liquitex modeling paste
May Arts ribbon
Momenta wooden corners
Prima flowers, sticker, crystals and Color Bloom          Spray
Pro Art gesso
Ranger Embossing Dabber
From my stash: thread

The journaling reads, "We had so much fun being together for Liz's birthday and getting to meet her friend, Stephen. There was a lot of laughter and funny story telling as we enjoyed our dinner, then we gave Liz her presents. For the grand finale, we ordered a beautiful and creative chocolate pinata for dessert. It was fun to watch Liz break open the pinata and see all the delicious fresh fruit come falling out for all to share. Mom even got a photo or two and everyone had a smile on their face! Dad and I love it when Liz has a birthday....one more delightful memory to cherish."
