Here's the layout I made:
The photo I used is from our cruise last May and I thought it was perfect for this collection. The bright colors of the photo match the colors of this collection so good.
Here's a step-by-step of how I created this layout:
I started with punching a whole lot of 2" circles and because the paper is double sided I had circles with many different patterns.
Next I cut the circles in 4 equal parts:
And arranged these in whole circles again and placed them in two vertical rows: one on the right and one on the left side of my background cardstock:
After adhering them with a little bit of adhesive I machine stitched them to the background cardstock:
Using a large blender brush I colored the white part between the rows of circles with fuchsia colored stamping ink:
These laser cut chipboard words from Creative Embellishments are also included in the kit and I thought one of the "splish, sploosh or splash" words could be used on my page. As the bare words left a bit of a black stain on my hands and paper I thought it best to paint them. I used some spray ink to color them.
After matting the photo I placed it on the left row of circles and selected one of the journaling cards to accompany it:
Next I added a few Bella Blvd chipboard pieces and cardstock die-cuts:
The word "Splash" and the journaling came next, as well as a few ink drops and with this the layout is finished!
Here are a few close-ups of my layout:
I really love how this turned out and hope you do too!
Here's a photo of the July Creative kit I used:
