PIECES OF ME

Hello again, would like to share with you all my take, as Special Investigator, on  Case File 124 at CSI. It is such a soft pretty palette and just perfect for this pic of one of my gorgeous neices, Shelby Jade.   I solved the case by using all the colours -  Sunrise Shadows -  grape color, taken from the background in the bottom left  - 142.54.92  Petal Pink -  pale pink, taken from the flower  - 250.226.224 Fairy Dust -  white, taken from the petals -  255.255.255 Dawn Glow  - light orange, taken from the background - 249.209.140 Morning Sun - pale yellow, taken from the highlights in her hair  - 249.240.197 From the Evidence -  I used butterflies, glitter (on the flowers and butterflies), flowers, rub-ons, stars and ruffle. EVIDENCE - CHOOSE AT LEAST 2 CLUES butterfly glitter flowers rub-ons/stamps ombre wings stars check/plaid pattern ruffle watercolor swirls tiny brads bokeh photo eff...

Hi again would love to share with you all my latest page as Special Investigator at CSI. Loved the Case File for this one and as a bonus there is a sketch to help add to the creative process.  The colour palette is so fresh and lovely definately not colours that I would normally chose to work with and I think that is so much of the appeal for this site. Orange Sherbet -  orange, taken from the flower in the middle  - 254.161.84 Guacamole -  avocado green, taken from the sprig  - 152.161.106 Linen Napkin -  white, taken from the highlights of the flower at the top -  255.255.255 Placecard  - black, taken from the menu - 43.33.24 Herb Sprig  - celadon green, taken from the sprig  - 210.219.16 I found the sketch challenging but once I found my pics the rest fell into place so easily. And here is the end result of how I put it all together, the quote on the tag is one that I found online and tweaked a bit to make it suit ...

Wow..... how exciting I have been asked by the lovely Debbi Tehrani to be a Special Investigator for the month of May at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration . I cannot begin to say how delighted I am and deeply honoured, there is such amazing talent not only on their DT but also with all the other Special Investigators as well. The colour pallette for this weeks challenge is just gorgeous and they  lend themselves to any type of pic whether it be about your home or whatever else you chose. Merlot   -  deep burgundy red, taken from the pillow  - 102.26.26 Champagne -  ivory, taken from the candle  - 244.235.226 Pillar Candle -  white taken from the light in the window, - 255.255.255 Ice Bucket  - light gray, taken from the carpet - 208.204.193 Bow Tie  - black, taken from the tables - 22.17.11  I knew immediately (well after a bit of a think and a walk around the house with the camera) how I wanted to solve this Case File.
