CSI #32/Once Upon A... Sketch Aug 2012 - Sentosa Sandsation'99

Yoohoo everyone! Hope everyone had been enjoying their week :) Its a new week at CSI again - Case #32 is so nautical-themed! 

And the always-wonderful coordinates to help along with solving the case file...

And i used the sketch from Once upon a Sketch Aug 2012 and I journalled about a childhood memory which was a beach trip when i was 6years old :)

 And the results?

I loved all the colors in this case file, and have just tried this "messy-style" for the first time lol
Some closeups..

(Starfishes and seashells)

 (Gesso over the twine netting)

 (Gold & Brown sand embossing powder to have a sandy feeling)

 (Chicken wire embossing folder inked with Bark & gesso)

 (My handmade twine-netting/mesh!)

I used all the colors stated.. 

For the evidence I used: 

- Stars (the starfish at the corner)

- Wet medium (I used gesso for the first time on the handmade "mesh")

- Textured paper (I used 2 embossing folders and gesso-ed the twines, and embossing powder at the btm)

- Dots (from embossing folder)

- Something grainy (Gold & Brown sand embossing powder at the btm)

- Mesh/Netting (handmade by using twines)

Testimony:

- Document about a beach trip.. 

It was a trip to our local sentosa beach where it was holding an event called Sentosa Sandsation in the year 1999, I guess it was also my first trip to the beach too hehe :)
