CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration for November

The design team at Swirlydoos was honored with guest designing for CSI again this month.

What a great sketch and color combo! Both were certainly inspiring for me. I hope you give this case file a go. You can check out the major case at CSI and see how past cases have been solved.

Here's the sketch for November.

The scene included pale grey, khaki, white, moss green, and coffee brown surrounded by leaves, branches, stamps, string, flowers and paper clips.

The evidence I found to solve the case included: text on the washi tape, textured cardstock and cardboard, Tim Holtz index clips, string, clothes pin, flowers, leaves, buttons, ribbon, and even a letter text stamp on the patterned paper.

My testimony is documenting something I love to do-scrapbooking. I was inspired by the word, "think."

Supplies:

49 and Market patterned paper

49 and Market flowers and leaves

Tim Holtz washi tape

Tim Holtz index clips

Tim Holtz small talk phrases

Tim Holtz gems

Frank Garcia crown

Darice hemp string

Creative Embellishments chipboard "joy"

Ingvild Bolme chalk ink

Swirlydoos is guest designing at CSI!!!

Hi everyone! Swirlydoos has teamed up with CSI this month…so much fun! I created this layout for case file 222. 

Scheme: For this layout, I was able to use the color scheme by picking some papers from various Swirlydoos kits. The Prima flowers were from the December kit of the month. 

Evidence: I use chevrons, snowflakes from the latest Swirlydoos die of the month, pearls, ribbon tied in bows, flowers and leaves, background stamping in black Archival ink, glitter on the diecut snowflake paper, and Jax was the "something fuzzy"!

Testimony: I documented the first snow of the winter and did a three line Haiku poem adaptation.

That is it for me for today! Don’t forget to check out all the other Swirlydoos challenges and come play along with us at CSI! Make sure to share all of your creations on our Facebook page… Take care and happy Scrapping!
