41 - CSI Challenge

These soft colours were much more of a challenge for me than the brights last week, but I’m so happy with the results. It’s good to be dragged out of the comfort zone.

Some close ups

EVIDENCE

Gold element, the heart charm and gold writing

Flag, the banner

Ruffles, the gathered ribbon

Texture white on white, the texture paste stars and the journalling strips

Ombre, the shaded glimmer mist

TESTIMONY

I reflected on my dreams for my DGD

JOURNALLING

My dreams for you are,

Not that you will always succeed,

but that you will be brave enough to try again.

Not that you will never be hurt,

but that you will develop resilience

Not that you will have a brilliant career,

but that you will find a purpose in life.

Not that will be the most popular girl,

but that you will find genuine friends who

respect your unique and authentic self.
