CSI.Case File No.22

Title: Treasure

Pavadinimas: Brangenybės

Imagine my surprise when Debbi Tehrani of CSI: Color Stories Inspiration asked me to be their guest designer for the month of June. Of course I said 'Yes!,' and got busy creating the assigned case files for the month.

*My 'Special CSI Investigator' interview is featured here.

The page above is an interpretation of Case File No.22. I had to derive my inspiration from the story board and the color palette below...

My Interpretation of the case file: The 'Scandinavian princess of the sea' photo as I coined it, inspired me to create a water/ocean themed page with photos from our recent vacation to Mexico.

Evidence: 

• Corrugated cardboard (peeking through the ripped top of page), and also the striped corrugated-like pattern of the journaling pages' border.
• Use a wet medium: I used Glimmer Mist spray paint to create a water background.
• Yarn or fibers: I used twine.

Testimony:

• My journaling is a letter to my son - my wishes for him that he never lose a sense of wonder in the bountiful and free gifts of nature. 

Here's a close-up of the embellishment clusters. The resin shell (and starfish overlay) is from K & Company. I've used this shell embellishment assortment for most of my marine themed pages, this shell being the last one in the variety set (got to get some more).  The sand dollar is a real one (from The Shoppe at Somerset).

The pebble background was achieved using The Crafter's workshop stencil-Pebbles (see images below), and Pebbles Inc. Cream Chalk:

I used two colors of the cream chalk ( a lighter brown and a dark brown for shading), to render the rocks with more dimension.

The journaling is difficult to read due to the antique typewriter. It's typed with a Royal Portable typewriter c. 1930s. Some of the letters, especially the lower case 'e', are not a crisp type, but resemble an 'o'. I've learned to bypass this illegibility by using both upper and lower case letters in a single word.

Thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment,

Irma

Esu neapsakomai pamaloninta kad mega populiaraus tarptautinio skrebinimo saito bei forumo savininkė Debbi paprašė manęs būti birželio pakviestine dizainere, ir netgi visam mėnesiui(!)

Man priimant kvietimą, buvau 'apdovanota' namų darbais - užduotimis 5-iem skrebukam.

*CSI saito interviu su manimi čia.

*Pamatyti kaip kitos dizainerės interpretavo šį iššukį spauskite čia.

Rodau pirmą debiutinį skrebuką, ir taip pat kviečių ir savo saito skrebinančius sekėjus sudalyvauti. 

O čia reikalavimai:

*Pirmiausia būtina panaudoti pateikiamas spalvas; Taip pat leidžiama naudoti pagrindines vienspalvio 'cardstock' popieriaus spalvas: baltą, juodą, ir kraft/smėlio rudą.

*Antra: reikia pasirinkti po kelis 'pasiūlymus' pateiktus ant 'įkvėpimui plančetės' abiejuose kategorijuose.

Apie techniką: Akmenų efektas išgautas vartojant 'The Crafter's Workshop'-Pebbles, trafaretą. Taip pat panaudojau 2-jų spalvų kreminius dažus kad suteikti akmenims šešėlius ir tikrovišką 3D efektą (trafareto bei kreminių dažų nuotraukos viršuj).
Purškiami dažai - Glimmer Mist suteikė vandens vaizdą. Žvejų tinklelio likutis nukirptas nuo namų dekoro objekto. Tekstas spausdintas su c1930m. antikvarine spausdinimo mašinėle. Dar  mes bandome susidraugauti kadangi mažoji 'o' ir 'e' atrodo vienodai :)
