Thincraft: Case File #53

Female Infant

Colours - Pale Dusty Pink, Lavendar, Pale Blue, Pale Yellow Green, Grey

I loved the colours immediately in this palette and reached for some pictures of my daughter. These are very special pictures that you will read about in my journaling but first this is how I solved the case.

I used all the colours - such pretty pastels. For the Evidence I kept things much simpler than some of my other LO's as there are 3 photos on this page they do take up a lot of room so I have flowers, the baby charms on the envelope and tag are metal and I used scallops. I have also included my signature buttons and the black and white clip art of a Lily on the tag.

The Testimony is something I really wanted to work on and write quite a bit of journaling for these photos and included the words soft, lovely, quiet - I have hidden a card behind the photos with scallops on and this is what it says - FI Rouault - When you were born you died but then you came back to us & we didn't have a name for you. I remember thinking that if I didn't name you then you couldn't be taken away again - you wouldn't die without a name so you were FI Rouault for 24 hours. We did decide to call you Lily but I still wouldn't call you this until you were a day old - if you lived for a day I knew you could manage another & another & on & on. These photos show our first cuddle, you were so quiet - you didn't cry when you was born - you were a soft lovely gorgeous baby girl but you are in an induced coma to help with the trauma you had been through. You had been put on the machines straight away & taken to Intensive Care in the Special Care Baby Unit. I didn't see you for a few hours but I was given the polaroid picture of you.
