Summer Love - Imaginisce

For today's blog post on Imaginisce's blog I created another layout using the "Sunny" collection. I just can't get enough of the colors and fun elements of this collection.

I started my page with a huge background cut file (from The Cut Shoppe) and arranged my photos in a way I could still see some of the text of the cut file. It wasn't necessary to see everything but I definitely wanted the first and last word to show.

Next I chose a patterned paper for the background and thought this yellow/white striped paper was just perfect for a Summers page. I cut off half an inch on two sides and glued it on white cardstock.  I chose some pink watercolor paint and painted a strip right in the middle and added some drops of paint as well. Once that had dried I adhered the cut file and two strips of patterned paper at the top en bottom of my page and machine stitched everything.

I proceeded by matting my photos and adhering them the way I liked. I added die-cuts, stickers and wood veneers and a date stamp and was done!

I adore the flamingo die-cut and thought it was fun to give him a hat, lol!

I used some of the wood veneers from Imaginisce's Happy Traveler collection.

Love the clear die-cuts in the ephemera pack. I adhered them with little staples.

Supplies:
Imaginisce: patterned papers, die-cut shapes, word strip stickers, sticker stacker (Sunny collection), wood veneers (Happy Traveler). American Crafts: cardstock. Other: cut file: The Cut Shoppe.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!
