CSI COLOUR CHALLENGE #84 ~ I FOUND PARADISE

Hi All,
I didn't know if I would have the time to get a layout done for this challenge. But the colours reminded me of Fiji, so I wanted to get another holiday pic done and where there is a will there is a way they say.....
The Challenge

some closies of my layout 
some texture as a symbol of the ocean


Some nautical Scrapmatt chippies
I was given the Bamboo Embossing folder from John  and thought it was perfect for an Island Layout, so thank you John

I cut around the shape and rubbed some gesso over it with my finger to make the pattern stand out.
The chevrons are also from Scrapmatts


My Journalling


and my layout. Another one for the album :)

Thanks for looking and don't forget we would love you to join us at ColorMeScrappy for a gorgeous colour palette this month and Orange Paperie  flowers and chipboard.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend
Mary x
