Christmas Cuties / GDT for CSI: Case File 103

Hello, friends :)  I can't believe Christmas is over...that was fast!  I hope all of you who celebrate had a wonderful time with family and friends.  Today I wanted to share my final project as a Guest Designer over at CSI.  A huge thank you to Debbi for inviting me to play this month!  I had a great time, and I really enjoyed cracking the case files :)

Here's the most recent one...Case File No. 103.  It's beautiful and festive just for the Christmas holidays :)

I decided to create a background from scratch using watercolors, washi tapes and stamps.  I love doing this because it's easy, fast, random and fun!  You just add layers of everything, and you really can't make a mistake.

For the Evidence, I used birds, stars, circles, horizontal lines, wood and transparent accents.  I like how it turned out...very fun and bright, I think :)

A close up of the bottom half....I used two different fonts of Thickers, and added a few buttons with cord bows.  I just love my border stamps....especially this stitched one.

I added some gold paint to my little wooden bird...I love that he's shiny now :)

I've been on a sequin kick lately...especially on Christmas pages!  The white ones remind me of snow...something we never see down here in Florida.

I've had this Christmas word stamp for years, and I still love it.  And I love Staz On ink...it dries quick and you can stamp on anything and it won't smudge!

Thanks so much for stopping by today....I hope you enjoy the rest of your holidays!
