A GUEST INVESTIGATOR at CSI

WOW !!!! I was soooooooooooo excited when Debbi asked me
 to be a guest Investigator on her wonderful site
C.S.I.
thanks so much Debbi, I am thrilled to be here .
Here is my take on case file #14

I used a metal filigree ( altered with gesso and ink.. details below)
from My2angels online store
these are available from My2angels online store 
CLICK HERE


 above is the antique bronze filigree before I altered it
PROCESS 
swipe with white gesso and dry with a heat gun 
lightly dab with VersaMagic chalk ink - Pumpkin spice and Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy... 
if you have too much ink dab with a dry tissue or a damp cloth
keep doing this process until you achieve the desired color ..
 experiment with different colors it is FUN . 
FILIGREES are available at My2angels online store

treasured memories title from 


thanks for looking everyone 
pop over to CSI and be inspired

big hugz to you all 
love Heather x

    Heather I just love this LO. You always have so much beautiful detail it takes me ages to take it all in. The metal embellishment looks great as does the lace and hanging embellishment on the left of the photo.

    O Heather, I adore this!!! Your LOs are getting better and better, LOVE their artyness!! Thanks for the description of how you did those metal embellishments, they look so cool. Off to check that site out the moment I am done here.

    I am finally going to be a granny too, - that should get me into scrapping, and you will be my inspiration!!

    Hope you have a wonderful Easter (that's if you celebrate it...) xoxo

    Beautiful in every way! The color palette,the misting,the journaling, but the thing I love most about your style is your ability to add lots of interest with embellishments and layers without overwhelming the photo. Your beautiful granddaughter is the focal point.
