Sunshine in My Soul {CSI Case File No. 286 + Paper Issues Free File Free-for-All Challenge}}

Our mid-month reveal is live over at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration, and it's a perfect one for summer! I combined CSI's challenge with Paper Issues' Free File Free-for-All challenge.

Here's the free cut file from Paper Issues that I used, called Sunshine in my Soul:

Here are the CSI Case File and Clues. Evidence clues I used: stripes, flowers, sun, flamingos, wet medium, sunglasses, camera, vellum, and summer accents; Testimony: Document summer vacation. I basically used the color scheme but used a different shade of blue.

Here are some details. I primarily used Simple Stories' Sunshine and Blue Skies collection. I added some torn pink vellum under the stripes for an added layer.

How adorable are these kids? I used some pink and blue watercolor in the background for the wet medium clue, and I found a fun sunglasses puffy sticker in my stash.

That flamingo puffy sticker was on the same sheet as the sunglasses. I added a brad to the camera for a bit more dimension.
