Here Comes the Sunshine!

Hello blog friends! Spring has sprung and I think everyone is ready for some sun! This layout was created for the CSI Design Team, and what fun I had playing with this one! 

I used the traditional way of solving this case and was inspired by the cheery colors and reminded of the sunshine my two adult children bring to my life!

Scheme: All five colors used
Evidence: Doily, banner, frame, animal
Testimony: Inspiration Word, "Shine" 

Here is a little close up of the central part of the layout, where the beautiful embellishments can be seen. 

I always think in 3-D for my layouts. Here, you can see where I fussy cut the beautiful Blue Fern Studios paper, then popped it up off of the base paper. 

My fun isn't finished until I use texture on the background. Here, I used modeling paste and a stencil to achieve my goal.
