GROW - CSI Case study #3

Here is my entry for Case file 3. at Colour, Stories, Inspiration. Case file #4 is now up here ready for you to solve.

I've been working on and off on this for the last 2 weeks and I'm sure I've lost some hair in the process.  I found the colours hard mostly due to the wrong rgb codes being inserted, by moi, into my colour strips.  I didn't realise what I'd done until I came to upload it 3 days ago!!  Had to change so much on it I hate it now.  I'm not even sure I have the colours right anymore!!  I mounted the photo onto a circular patterned paper which I stitched to the backing paper with gold coloured thread. There is extra journaling under the patterned paper which I tucked under the l/h side of the photo which has details of the location of the photo etc.

My journaling is under the patterned paper on the circular tags, fastened with gold brads.  I also used see thru ribbon in lilac on the torn strip,a  gold doily and masked doily with spray paint in lilac..
Journaling reads "You were such a tiny thing when you were born, only 5lb in weight and you fitted in your Dad's  hand. Now you're 5 months old and you can still sit in your Dad's hand.  You're such a determined child we know you will GROW into a beauty"

I drew my inspiration from the word growth and from the teacup and saucer theme as it looks like my granddaughter Daisy is sitting in her Dad's hand like a teacup in a saucer.  Hope you like a small part of it somewhere..................
