Love You | CSI + Paper Issues

Our mid-month reveal is live at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. I made a layout for one of my students, combined with Paper Issues Free File Friday challenge.

Here are the CSI Case File and clues:

I used the color scheme as well as all of the Evidence clues. 

Here are some details. I used Paper Issues Rainbow Clouds free cut file. I backed the clouds with purple paper and lifted them with pop dots for added dimension.

I raided my scraps drawers to find papers to back the rainbow and found the perfect colors. I love using my scraps! For the gold clue, I found some glittery gold Thickers. And there were even plus signs in the pack (another clue). I cut the houses out of a patterned paper for another of the clues.

The butterflies were cut from an older Paige Evans collection. I almost gave up on adding the flower clue and then I found these little purple flowers by K&Co. in my stash. And I used an old scallop punch for the scallop clue.

I hope you'll come play in both of these challenges. CSI has 7 generous sponsors donating prizes this month.

And there's always a gift certificate up for grabs at Paper Issues. The free file challenge is really fun and there are literally hundreds of free cut files.
