I started off with a base of thin chipboard and then layers of gesso.  I painted the gesso on then used a stencil.  I misted just a little bit of color spray over it.


I also used a fun paper from Basic Grey with stripes in it for part of my "evidence."  For my journaling I used different types of lettering--a Thicker as well as some small letter stickers.  


For some pizzaz I added buttons and brads, a few gems, some twine and flowers.
