I had forgotten to post my layout for CSI:Color, Stories, Inspiration challenge #3. I decided to use a childhood photo of me and my sisters. I loved the sweet inspiration photo and continued the playful theme on the layout. All the evidence elements were used: tags, sheer ribbon, doily print, gold metallic elements, circular elements. And from the testimony: journal on tags.

I rewrote a traditional Swedish song for the first part of the journaling, which was printed on tags that had first been stamped with a rose stamp using lavender ink. A big circle was cut from cream cardstock and I gold embossed a doily stamp all around to imitate the plate on the inspiration photo. It took two attempts to get the right spacing between the doilies. One of the flowers was stamped with the same stamp, but with lavender ink. The three chipboard crowns were coated with several layers of UTEE, finishing off with two layers of gold embossing powder. I continued the theme of three by using three tags, a playing card with the number 3, and three gold birds.

The photo is taken at Drottningholm castle, on our first trip to Stockholm. I used a postage stamp of the queen and a queen playing card. The journaling on the second journaling tag is about my memories from the trip.
