Meg's Garden 

CSI case No 128

By Sue Smyth 

This layout is inspired by a layout I saw some years ago, using a large tear in the paper. I have kept it in the back of my mind as a neat way to start a layout. So when Case 128 came up, I \

knew Megs Garden correspondence papers would work well

with the idea and colours in the case.

Scheme

Purples, creams and greens are some of my favourite colours and suit heritage photos 

so well. I have used all of the colours in the scheme and matched them with 

sepia vintage photo  

Evidence

Some of the Evidence I have used is 

numbers, door, flowers, berries, beads, pearls, ribbon bow, frame, metal, punches, pastels 

Testimony 

The testimony I have used is the Door entrance theme, as in to a new life for 

this couple, with the pages of their life/papers rolled back to reveal them

and the words Memory Lane is inspired by the word Walk.

The berries are made with cotton buds, with dimensional magic coated over 

the top, dip them in micro beads and allow to dry.

Then paint with gesso and spray with a pomegranate mist. 

Snip off and adhere as a berry, I think they

look awesome.

The Dodo vine is altered, by painting with gesso, either spray or just 

with a brush. Allow to dry and spray with

adhesive, roll in white glitter.

This will make sparkly vines, you can

gently wind them around a skewer to 

enhance the tendril shape. Snip onto pieces

to use on the layout.

Soften the edges with random punching with lacy border\

punches and blend Distress inks over the edge.

Add a cute little tassel for a 

really vintage look.
