Memory of you
by Marie Claude Rodier

Hello 2Crafty fans,
I am here to show you the layout I made especially for CSI challenges
as 2Crafty is one of their sponsor in June.
"Memory of you"

When I first saw the June images, I was obviously drawn to the case 287 as it has a nautical theme...
By now, you know how I love that theme!



But surprisingly, in the end, my layout has nothing to do with that theme!
Instead, I chose to use several clues to solve the case: stack of old papers that have distressed edges, a circular frame that is mimicking a window, a coat of white gesso, old mists and even lace trims.


"Memory of you" title was embellished with two tones of copper waxes
and partially covered with white gesso.


To recreate a vertdigris look, "Frame Round Ornate" was first covered with copper waxes. Green wax and white gesso were added here and there as final touches.


"Flourish adornment set 6 and 7" were first covered with black gesso
and then with turquoise and peacock waxes.
Finally, vintage gold and green waxes and white gesso were also used sparsely.
