Hard at Play - CSI DT challenge 120

Take a look at the whimsical case file this week- Isn't it cute?
I hope you will be inspired to play along.

To have a look at the creativity of the Design Team
 A few close ups.
The floral paper is by Simple Stories, Elements, "Fresh Air"
An old flair from my stash - October Afternoon "Sidewalk"
I used Gesso and a roller stamp "Wild & Free"
Some builders tape
A splash of Dylusions "Fresh Lime"
I chose to write a Haiku about a day in the life of DGD.  She’s a hundred mile an hour kind of girl.  Restless, always busy, darting about like a rainbow lorikeet, never settling anywhere for long.  I found the limitations of the haiku difficult, but it made me focus on each word.

EVIDENCE
Stripes
Textured paper - dry embossing on the blue
Mixed media background
Gesso
Animal accents - on the flair
Wet medium

TESTIMONY
Restless legs skip by
Throw sand, chase the dog and cat
Now quiet and still

  8. awwww another casefile nailed. The haiku is so clever and I think it suits her to perfection. I love the CAS style of this page too, the gesso looks wonderful on kraft and I love the typed haiku and flowers in the bottom corner. Another stunning layout made with so much love for these grandies of yours.
